Support Material

No support material is required as the judges will be evaluating the strengths of the written cases.  If you do wish to send support material, where possible please send CD’s instead of large items.  If your entry relates to a new product, samples may be supplied.  Support material will not be kept for collection unless clearly requested at the time of entry.  All other material will be securely destroyed following the 2011 Awards.

Permission

When submitting your entry, ensure you have obtained permission to feature material from external suppliers as necessary.  Third parties should be made aware that the material may appear in print in Marketing.

Case Studies

The Marketing Society and Marketing will publish winning and shortlisted case studies, to promote marketing excellence.  If your case study contains sensitive information, you should clearly state this and indicate which information should not be published.  In addition, some winners will be approached and invited to present at a best practice event in 2011.

Who Can Enter

Entries may be submitted by the owner of the brand or company, or their marketing agency.  All agencies entering must gain prior approval from a director at the client company, and supply that individual’s email address for verification.  You do not have to be a member of The Marketing Society to enter the Awards.
