Prolific North Marketing Awards 2022

The Prolific North Marketing Awards are back this year, we’ve delved into some insight from the judges on what they’ll be searching for and what makes a compelling entry.

To give yourself the best shot at crafting a winning entry that will be sure to impress, we’ve spoken to our independent judging panel. 

The judging panel have expert industry knowledge, with experience across both agency and brand-side, and will be assessing and scoring the entries to create the final shortlist.

The panel includes the likes of Rachel Witkin, Marketing Manager at Science and Industry Museum; Gill Riley, Marketing Director at Quorn Foods; Liam Howley, Group CMO at musicMagpie; and Danny Micklethwaite, Senior Marketing Director at Arla Foods. The full list is here.

All the stand-out marketing campaigns, top teams, individuals and agencies across the marketing world in the North will be looked at by the judges.

Jason Yip, Head of Marketing Automation and Analytics at Newcastle University, had this to say about what he’ll be on the hunt for this year:

“What I’ll be looking for are entries where they have clearly used qualitative and quantitative customer driven data to shape their campaigns. Specifically how they’ve used data and customer/user feedback to define audience personas and profiles and how as a result of this insight it has guided their decision making. Such as informing content creation, user journeys and identifying opportunities to tailor and automate their CRM, Paid media and in general their overall campaign activity.”

He continued: “Has data driven insight been used to make a difference to the customer experience? Has it helped to set their campaign goals/conversions, and has it shaped the future and validated their campaign objectives? How have they enhanced their data acquisition, the methods used, how did they get around the current privacy challenges and have they identified opportunities for data driven personalisation for future campaigns?

“Submissions demonstrating the value of using customer data to drive key decisions within the marketing/customer life cycle will be of particular interest, especially entries that show creative and demonstrable use cases pivoted around the use of analytics/data.”
