Brand Leadership Team of the Year
Leadership judged on three things together: where the brand went, how the marketing organisation was built, and what the business did as a result.
The rate is set by the window open when payment succeeds.

What a strong entry does.
These three carry most of the score in this category. Spend the time here.
- Quality and Consistency of WorkShow a body of work, not a showreel. Consistency across the year is what this scores, so include the ordinary alongside the exceptional.
- Business MomentumShow the year moving: new business, retained business, revenue, headcount. Direction over a period beats a single good quarter.
- Client ImpactLet clients speak, with names and permission. One specific, attributable sentence from a client outweighs five adjectives from the agency.
