Masters of Marketing shortlist announced

Below we unveil the best of the best from every corner of the marketing world. There are 41 categories across industry sectors, channels and disciplines including five Grand Prix categories.

The Masters, which brings together Marketing Week’s Engage Awards and Econsultancy’s Digitals, celebrate the role marketing plays in improving sales, enhancing reputations and changing organisations’ fortunes. Every one of the shortlisted entries demonstrates this  in abundance.

From high profile campaigns that had the entire nation talking, such as John Lewis’s much loved festive ‘Monty the Penguin’ multichannel campaign, to lesser known but no less effective email, programmatic and social campaigns, all of marketing is represented.

And they all demonstrate one thing – true mastery.

For all those brands and projects shortlisted, this is just the start of the celebration. Shortlisted entries will be central to the Festival of Marketing in November. They will be showcased in the Masters Gallery – a dedicated interactive destination at the Festival –to the 3,000 marketing, creative and media executives in attendance.

The winners will be announced at pop-up ceremonies over the course of two days in The Masters Gallery. It’s all happening between sessions and we will be broadcasting the ceremonies throughout the event.

This is all about celebration. Shining a much-deserved spotlight on fantastic work – the true mastery in innovation and creativity shown by marketers that has proven to be game changing.

Congratulations to all those that have made the shortlist. Competition was fierce and you should give yourself a huge pat on the back. And a heartfelt thanks from all at Marketing Week  and Econsultancy to those that entered – it was a pleasure reading about your great work.

Good luck to those shortlisted and we look forward to seeing you in November at the Festival.
