In particular, making meaningful connections between brands and consumers is of paramount importance, something ADMA are champions of”

Adds Whittle (above left): “Chairing an ADMA jury is a tremendous privilege. I’m grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to review the entries with the judges. Creativity and effectiveness work hand in hand, that’s why the ADMA awards are important for clients. Awards are an important instrument for agencies to attract and retain the best talent.

The ADMA Awards are a chance to showcase the best of Australia’s marketing talent, and in particular, demonstrate that great marketing also delivers business results – after all, that’s where the bucks start!”

 

Adds Adams: “Companies invest in marketing to drive revenue and advocacy benefits – entering your work into the Effectiveness category signals to your organisation that you are delivering work that drives superior return on investment.  I am excited to be working with a panel of the industry’s best minds to identify the work that showcases how astute organisations are using direct and digital investments to win in their respective markets.”
