The ADMA Awards recognise and celebrate creative and effective excellence in Australian marketing and advertising.

ADMA is looking for high-calibre marketing and advertising professionals with a broad spectrum of industry experience including creative, strategy, account management, digital, data, analytics, clients and other specialisations.

Says Jodie Sangster, ADMA CEO: “Judges should balance experience and knowledge with respect for the entries. We’re looking for industry experts who are leaders in their field.”

Judging will take place from Monday 26 August.

Says Sangster: “Judging can be both rewarding and inspiring as you get to review the best effective and creative campaigns in Australia. Being a judge helps develop a critical eye on the industry and how we are doing.”

There are two judging panels: one focuses on judging creativity in campaigns while the other judges effectiveness.

In addition, there are Pinnacle Awards that are judged with their own set of criteria: The Lester Wunderman Effectiveness Award, the David Ogilvy Creative Award, the ADMA Grand Prix and the Agency of the Year.

2013 will see the introduction of two new media awards – Best Use of Search and Best Use of Performance Media.

Finalists will be announced in September and winners at the ADMA Awards gala evening in Sydney on Friday 1 November at The Star in Pyrmont.
