Awards

 What a night!

There’s nothing quite like the atmosphere at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Mayfair on Media Week Awards night in October. Through thick times and thin, the great and the good of the media world turn out to celebrate excellence in our wonderful industry, network with their peers and aspire to one day join the winners on stage.
This year’s event takes place on the evening of Thursday 29 October. It’s the big night of the media year, and the awards stand head and shoulders above all others in their significance and importance.

Whether they are a media owner, media agency or client advertiser, the assembled company is guaranteed an enlightening and unforgettable night out. And the prestige of winning a Media Week Award will linger long after the celebratory hangovers have eased.
But before the celebrating comes the award submission stage, and this year’s entries need to be sent to us by Friday 12 June.

Successful campaigns, brands and agencies must demonstrate true imagination, creativity and – especially – effectiveness to impress the judges. The awards are decided after an exceptionally rigorous judging process conducted by the most senior movers and shakers in the media industry.

Effectiveness is crucial in today’s economic climate, and this is where media comes into its own. Our industry has always valued return on investment above all else – and marketers are increasingly turning to the UK’s stellar media community to deliver this.
I look forward to reviewing your best work in the judging process – and to seeing as many of you as possible on the big night in October. Good luck!
