2020 The Marketer Campaign Awards

2020 was quite the year!

If you’re still in business, that’s worth celebrating in itself tbh and mean’s you’ve survived one of the biggest global impacts to business in recent memory.

Many businesses had to completely change the way they marketed their products and services by moving online, adding deliveries and pick-ups and shifting events to virtual events.

This came with learnings – including many fails, but more importantly, much success!

So The Marketer thought we needed to celebrate – and to borrow a phrase from marketing maverick Jay Baer, “turn 2021 into Twenty Twenty WON!”

Plenty of amazing campaigns went live last year, despite more challenges to negotiate than ever before. Brands and businesses got creative and got to work making sure their audiences were getting the message.

And so, The Marketer Campaign Awards were born. This is an opportunity for your campaign to get some recognition, and for you to win some cool prizes!

How it works

Entrants submitted their campaigns from 2020 in three categories:

  • Best Organic Campaign
  • Best Paid Campaign
  • Best NFP Campaign

There’s also a prize for Best Overall Campaign.

Winners are announced tomorrow night. More on that below.
