TVNZ NZ announces Marketing Awards judges – extended entry deadline is 5pm, Friday May 31

The search is now over for the 2013 TVNZ Marketing Awards judges. The demand from CEO’s and senior marketers wishing to contribute their skills and expertise to the judging panel for this year’s TVNZ NZ Marketing awards was huge.

Says Sue McCarty, convenor of judges and chief executive at the marketing association: “It is great to have so many respected marketing and business leaders wishing to be involved in the most important stage of these awards. Recognising great marketing and rewarding those that excel in the marketing discipline is a tough and robust process, but one which all involved embrace with enthusiasm.”

The judges, who represent a range of industries, will come together over two rounds to judge entries across thirteen Industry Awards, six Judges’ Choice Awards and four Individual Awards, and will be crowning the best examples of marketing leadership, innovation and success.

Says McCarty: “These judges will be looking for examples of where marketers have planned with purpose, executed with excellence, considered every facet of the marketing mix and achieved impressive results for their businesses.”

It’s not too late to enter, with the call for entries deadline being 5pm 24th May and the extended deadline (on application) recently announced as being 5pm 31st May 2013.
