Campaign Asia-Pacific is delighted to announce the launch of the prestigious 19-year-old Agency of the Year awards into Japan and Korea. The aim of these awards is to recognise inspired leadership, management excellence, outstanding business performance and overall achievements in the advertising and communications industries in Japan and Korea. These awards are designed to allow your agencies — big or small — and your talent to shine within the local market and region, with the opportunity of network recognition at an Asia-Pacific level.
 
In the first year of these awards, we have introduced six agency categories. There will be country awards in the Creative Agency of the Year, Media Agency of the Year and Digital Agency of the Year, and regional awards (Japan/Korea) in the remaining categories. There are five people categories and two client categories to celebrate marketers and their brands. In the agency categories, judges will award a Gold, Silver and Bronze, while only a winner and runner-up will be announced in the people categories.
 
The judging panel will comprise senior marketers from key business categories and Campaign’s editors. In our commitment to transparency, independent accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers will tabulate the results of the awards.
 
Only achievement for the November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 period will be evaluated by the judges.
 
If you believe your agency and your people have accomplished significant milestones and have helped raise industry standards during the review period, please send us your submissions.
 
Good luck!
