What's it all about?
The TVNZ-NZ Marketing Awards are the marketing industry's premier awards. Now into their 20th year, the awards celebrate excellence in the business of marketing, awarding entries on marketing thought leadership and business success.
The awards are run as a partnership between the Marketing Association and NZ Marketing magazine, published by Tangible Media.
New categories
New for 2011, the TVNZ-NZ Marketing Awards has introduced a category award open solely to government departments and state-owned enterprises. The Public Sector Marketing Award recognises game changing initiatives of marketers whose activities involve community services or any other activity where profit is not necessarily used as a measure of success.
The Judges’ Choice Awards are now open to all category award entrants, as opposed to exclusively to finalists.
A change that is significant to all consumer marketing entrants involves the merging of the Consumer Durables and Consumer Services categories to create the Consumer Marketing Award.
The complete list of categories is available here.
The Game Changers
This year’s theme profiles marketing game changers over the last 20 years, tempting entrants to add their names to the hall of fame and go down in marketing history.
The 2011 TVNZ-NZ Marketing Awards are your chance to show whether you're a game changer.
Judges
A fabulous line-up of high-calibre industry leaders have been secured to judge this year's entries. The full list of judges is available here.

TVNZ once again heads up an impressive line-up of sponsors. New sponsors include Pacific Micromarketing (Marketer of the Year), BrandWorld (FMCG Marketing), Mailshop (Business Marketing), hotfoot (Consumer Marketing) and &some (Rookie Marketer of the Year).
