The AdNews Agency of the Year Awards will be held on 28 October, 2021 from 1pm at The Ivy Grand Ballroom and followed by an after party at The Ivy Pool Bar.
AdNews has introduced several new awards including The Diversity Award and The Game Changer Award.
The Diversity Award recognises company and/or agency initiatives to promote diversity within their own business and/or the broader industry. It celebrates those ideas and programs that are making a true difference in enhancing adland to become a more diverse and inclusive industry to work in.
The Game Changer Award recognises innovations and ideas that change the game. A Game Changer could be a piece of disruptive technology, a new advertising format, creative storytelling, an inspirational idea or product launch which has reinvented a client’s business, or an innovative communications strategy that redefined and solved a tricky business challenge.
The entry kit for the awards can be downloaded here.
