MASTERS OF MARKETING BRAND AWARDS JUDGING

Industry leaders have the opportunity to become a Masters of Marketing Brand Awards judge. Judges give their expert feedback on the most innovative, impactful, and disruptive marketing campaigns of the year.

Over 300 judges of executive-level industry experts score each entry based on the following criteria:

  1. Overall Originality of Concept: Did the insight inspire an innovative idea that supported the strategy? How original is this concept compared to others you've seen? Was the concept based on a true human insight? 
  2. Strategy in Line with Insights: Did they turn the insights into a tangible strategy that addressed the stated objective(s)? 
  3. Integration/Execution of Campaign or Idea (specific to category): Was the campaign fully integrated? Did their tactics really interact and engage with the target audience consumers? Why does the campaign deserve to win in this category? 
  4. Results in Achieving Business Objectives: Did their results satisfy their objectives? Did they increase their volume, share and/or profit? Did they increase other brand health objectives or goals? (i.e. awareness, engagement, loyalty, etc.)
  5. Building the Brand: Did the campaign build the brand? Did the idea build the brand equity and reinforce the essence of the brand? 

Entries are reviewed in a main round of judging that determines the gold, silver, and bronze level winners in each category. The Grand Jury will then review the top-scoring gold level winners for consideration of the program's top honor - Best in Show. All winners will then be recognized by the industry during the Masters of Marketing Brand Awards Gala.
