Marketing Awards

THE PROLIFIC NORTH MARKETING AWARDS CELEBRATE EXCELLENCE, CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION ACROSS THE MARKETING INDUSTRY.

We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Marketing Awards, celebrating the creativity, innovation, and impact that define the North’s marketing landscape. This year’s awards will take place in Leeds this October, bringing together the region’s brightest minds to honour outstanding campaigns and professionals.

In 2024, we welcomed over 400 marketers to our ceremony, held at the iconic Manchester United Football Club . It was an unforgettable evening of recognition and celebration, and we look forward to making this year’s event even more memorable.
