Call for submissions: WFA President’s Awards 2018

Global Marketer Week will provide the backdrop to the 2018 edition of the WFA President’s Awards. The awards look to recognise association-led industry initiatives which have helped advance the marketer’s agenda and made a real difference.

National advertiser associations in WFA membership are invited to nominate programmes they have led over the course of 2016 and 2017. These must be ‘industry’, rather than company-specific, and can cover areas related to best practice in marketing communications, audience measurement, media transparency, self-regulation, gender equality and diversity, ethics in advertising, sustainability and so on.

The initiatives will be evaluated by WFA President and RBS CMO David Wheldon and honoured during the WFA Gala Dinner on 17 May in Tokyo. National advertiser associations wishing to submit entries should do so by 9th March 2018. The submission form can be downloaded here.
