The Advertising & Marketing Awards seek to recognise and celebrate advertising and marketing campaigns created by the news media industry, as well as creative, sales and marketing teams in Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific and Asia.

The awards feature three key categories: Advertising, Marketing and Executive Excellence.

Presented in conjunction with the annual industry conference, the PANPA Advertising & Marketing Awards attracted a record 450 entries last year.

Says Mark Hollands, chief executive, The Newspaper Works: “The Advertising & Marketing Awards are a hugely popular and prestigious awards event that reflects news media excellence across all platforms.

“They recognise the outstanding talent and work that is reshaping how the news media industry markets and sells itself to readers, advertisers and media agencies.”

The Advertising categories recognise publishers’ in-house work only, while both agency and in-house executions are eligible for the Marketing categories.
