What the Judges are looking for

Strong entries are clear, strategic and creatively executed. Here’s what separates good from great.

  • Clearly articulate the business or brand context that precipitated the problem.
  • Ensure objectives are quantifiable with a solid measurement framework in place – without this, judges cannot accurately assess the effectiveness of your work.
  • Help judges grasp the magnitude of the challenge faced.
    • Move beyond merely describing the audience, explain why they are a key growth target, supported by data points.
    • Offer a compelling insight that serves as an ‘aha’ moment, aiming to inspire judges with its originality and strategic relevance.
    • Ensure the insight provides clear direction for the strategy and idea development.
  • Demonstrate how the strategy and insight directly inform the media idea, influencing channel selection and execution, judges look for this critical connection.
  • Emphasise innovative aspects of the execution, steering clear of routine elements.
  • Ensure you have included a minimum of one media vendor from the following channels:
    • TV
    • Audio
    • Publishing & News
    • Out-of-home
    • Digital
  • Clearly link results back to the quantifiable objectives set at the beginning, providing judges with a clear understanding of the impact.
  • Contextualise results (eg. year-over-year or versus competitors) to highlight performance
  • Ensure the results resonate with the category entered, such as brand impact, commercial results, or media effectiveness.
  • Utilise modelling, if possible, to substantiate the effectiveness of your approach.
  • Consider and account for external variables (pricing strategies, competitive actions, market seasonality, or new product developments) that might have influenced the outcomes.
