The short list for the Northern Marketing Awards 2013 is announced today ahead of the awards dinner on Wednesday 3 July. Over 140 entries were received from leading brands and organisations along with marketing, creative and digital agencies from across the North for the 20 award categories on offer.
The awards dinner will be presented by the broadcaster Andy Crane and given the exceptionally high quality level of entries we received, we anticipate that the dinner on 3 July will see the largest single gathering of marketers and their agencies in the North in 2013.
The headline partner of the awards is Melbourne Server Hosting and the awards are also being supported by NABS.
For further information about the evening or to book tickets, please visit our micro-site or contact Kerry Wilson at Don’t Panic on 01706 828855 or kerry@dontpanicprojects.com
We’d like to thank our outstanding panel of 15 judges for all their hard work and patience working through such a number and variety of quality entries.
Unfortunately, given the large volume of entries, a number of companies will be disappointed not to have been short listed and we’d also like to thank these companies for their time and interest and wish them better luck next year.
