STEM Marketing Awards 2025: What the judges are looking for

Industry leaders from the likes of WSP, EA Technology, McLaren and many more are gearing up to join an independent judging panel for the STEM Marketing Awards 2025.

Prolific North is hosting the inaugural STEM Marketing Awards on 22 May as part of Digital City Festival in Manchester. But what are the STEM Marketing Awards? These new awards celebrate and recognise the national achievements of marketers that have helped to transform the science, technology, engineering and mathematics industries.

As the final deadline for entries is on 4 March, we’ve spoken to some of the judges about what they’re most looking forward to seeing this year.

Emma Degnan, senior marketing campaign specialist EMEA Region at Thermo Fisher, says:  “The awards will encourage innovation and excellence in marketing professionals working in the STEM sector. They will also highlight the breadth of careers available across STEM as well as promoting continuous learning, further emphasising the importance of skills development within these rapidly evolving fields. A priority of the awards is to recognise impactful innovation, showcase creativity combined with technical fluency, and inspire marketing professionals within the field.”

For Jennifer Watkiss, global marcoms lead – digital offerings at WSP, she says marketing in the STEM field goes beyond just selling a product.

The blend of technical understanding and deep audience insight required to communicate the value of a complex product or solution to the right people at the right time puts every aspect of marketing skills to the test. Awards that specifically recognise this are long overdue, and I’m excited to see the entries that highlight this wonderfully exciting work.”

By entering, winning at the awards can lead to winning new clients, talent, collaborations and receiving industry recognition.
