Asia-Pacific’s best news media creative, sales and marketing work and talent was recognised tonight at the 2016 PANPA Advertising & Marketing Awards held at the Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney.
The Awards recognise and celebrate news media advertising and marketing campaigns, as well as the industry’s creative, sales and marketing teams in Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific and Asia. The awards, presented in front of 300 industry guests, were held in conjunction with the annual industry conference, Future Forum.
The Advertising categories recognise publishers’ in-house work only, while both agency and in-house executions are eligible for the Marketing categories. The awards are presented across metropolitan/national, regional and community titles. Independent judges again oversaw this year’s awards.
NewsMediaWorks Chief Executive Mark Hollands said: “The Advertising & Marketing Awards recognise the outstanding talent and work from our news media publishers, from the contribution they make to their communities to the effective campaign outcomes for advertisers and media agencies.
“The calibre of entries for this year’s Advertising & Marketing Awards was outstanding, with a range of submissions from across the region.”
The 2016 Advertising & Marketing Awards were sponsored by 90 Seconds.
The 2016 Newspaper of the Year Awards will be announced at a Gala Dinner on Friday 2nd September at The Ivy Ballroom in Sydney.
