Submissions will be judged by senior media agency representatives.
They will be looking for projects with clear and straightforward results translated into messages and action tips for the digital industry, digital marketers and digital advertisers.
Projects can be of any budget, large or small and must have been conducted by media owners, publishers, platforms, ad tech and martech organisations in the Australian market.
The project’s purpose is to inform marketers, advertisers and advertising agencies. The research or case studies must have been first presented in the market from September 2020.
