Why I am judging the awards.... “I think that it is a very interesting time for the marketing industry: we all seeing change in consumer behaviours, some short and some long term, and looking at how quickly we can adapt our marketing and business models. This is just as applicable to B”B as B2C marketers. As a judge I am looking for the following in a great award entry: Clear , tangible objectives, customer insights leading into strategies and plans, and then results that show how effective the campaign/work was”
