For a brilliant newcomer making bold moves

Nominations are now open

This award shines a spotlight on the newcomers already making their mark. The Rising Star is someone in their first three years of a marketing career who’s showing bold ideas, fresh thinking, and real potential to go far. They’re the ones you notice straight away – full of energy, creativity, and impact beyond their experience.

What the judges are looking for:
