There are several marketing award categories being celebrated at the 2012 IBAs including:
- Marketing Department of the Year
- Marketing Team of the Year
- Marketing Executive of the Year
- Marketing Campaign of the Year - Industry Categories
- Marketing Campaign of the Year - Specialty Categories
There are a number of other IBA categories that should be of interest to marketing professionals, including many of the annual report awards and other literature categories, website awards categories, app awards categories, video awards categories, and live event awards categories.
2. Review the entry submission criteria.
Information to be submitted online for entries in these categories include:
- An essay of up to 500 words describing the nominee's accomplishments since 1 January 2011
- A biography of the nominee or the leader of the nominated company, department, or team of up to 100 words, and
- Optional (but highly recommended), a collection of supporting files, work samples, and web addresses that you may upload to our server to support your entry and provide more background information to the judges.
