Marketing Excellence Awards

Rising Star in Marketing Award

Early in a marketing career and already making waves.

About this category

This award recognises a marketer early in their career who has shown exceptional ability, ideas and results. Judges look for rapid progress, fresh thinking and evidence that colleagues and clients already rely on them.

Eligibility

Open to marketers with up to three years of professional marketing experience, of any age.

Judging criteria

  • Results relative to experience
  • Creativity
  • Speed of learning
  • Initiative
  • Potential

Qualitative criteria

  • Energy
  • Curiosity and a willingness to take ownership

Metrics

  • Campaign or channel results
  • Responsibilities taken on
  • Skills gained and feedback from managers

Additional criteria

Entries should include a concise case study with the objective, the audience, what was done and what changed as a result. Include results against the objectives set, not only reach or impressions, and supporting evidence such as client, stakeholder or customer feedback where possible. Commercially sensitive numbers may be given as percentages or ranges. Judges consider budget and team size, so smaller teams and agencies compete on equal terms.
