Call for Entry 2 July

The IAB New Zealand Digital Advertising Awards is a must-attend event on the industry calendar

Our industry is continually evolving and growing. The IAB New Zealand Digital Advertising Awards ensures we recognise and celebrate excellence and the achievements of the very best organisations and individuals in the digital advertising industry.

While receiving recognition in front of a 400 strong audience of industry peers is an outstanding moment, winning an IAB New Zealand Award is the pinnacle of 12 months hard work. Likewise the value of winning an Award goes far beyond the acceptance speech.

• Industry recognition: Showcased alongside your peers as an innovator and performer.

• Valuable marketing advantage: Evidence that you’ve been judged as one of the best within the industry.

• Celebrate your achievements: Being nominated positively affects the individual or team involved.

• Support innovation within the industry: By showcasing best practice, innovation and performance.

• Benchmark your achievements: Understand what you want to achieve and make it happen.

• Increase the power of your sales pitch: An award validates your selling point.
