The global advertising body stated that this year, the awards seek nominations for global and regional marketers who can demonstrate their part in driving their businesses and the industry forward.
It added that nominations will be sought from the wider marketing industry as well as via an expert jury of global marketers and industry experts chaired by WFA President and Mastercard Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Raja Rajamannar, and its media partners.
Stating some of its criteria and requirements, it maintained that those nominated should demonstrate outstanding leadership in two or more of the following four areas which include driving initiatives that contribute towards sustainable business growth, optimising their global marketing organisation as well as working more effectively with partners, delivering stand-out innovation and creativity, playing an industry leadership role, for example around furthering the Diversity & Inclusion agenda and they should also have been working for their current company for two years or more. The deadline for nominations is 11 October 2023.
WFA noted that nominations will be considered by the expert jury in October, with those shortlisted being profiled in on the Drum and on the WFA’s website later in the year. The list of jurors for 2023 will be announced in September.
According to the global advertising umpire, this year’s shortlisted marketers will also be inducted into the global marketer hall of fame joining the 27 marketers who have been shortlisted for this prestigious award since it was first launched in 2017.
