The ±±¾©Èü³µpk10 Media Awards have established themselves as the most prestigious event in the media calendar with the focus on brilliant and inspiring creative media ideas.
The awards aim to reward campaigns where media has made a real difference, with anyone involved in the business – from media agencies to publishers, broadcasters, networks and strategic media companies – encouraged to enter.
The ±±¾©Èü³µpk10 Media Awards is being held in partnership with Spotify this year who will be also be hosting the after party with a guest star DJ until the early hours.
This year’s chairman of the judges, Phil Georgiadis, chairman of Walker Media, said: "What struck me most was the level of intelligent and reasoned debate among the judging groups.
"Among the winners are fantastic examples of why media must now take a lead in solving advertisers’ communication challenges – applying insight, utilising data and harnessing creativity across a variety of platforms.
"The winners are an excellent reflection of what is great about the new media landscape, and the enlarged and invigorated role played by media agencies and owners alike."
Arif Durrani, head of media at ±±¾©Èü³µpk10, gathered 45 leaders together for this year’s judging process, all notable business leaders in their own rights.
He said: "These prestigious awards place the focus firmly on the work. Its winners highlight the very best the industry has to offer and in themselves serve to highlight the changes taking place acrosss the industry.
"It's easy to forget sometimes amid all the innovation that our media industry represents a multi-million pound business for UK plc. And in this age of consolidation, with the rise of the behemoth marketing groups, I was delighted to get Phil on board to provide a welcome independent perspective and robustness to the process."
