Last Chance to Enter Local Media Works Awards

Media planners have until the end of the week to enter The Local Media Works Awards which challenge entrants to plan a campaign highlighting Airbus’ credentials as an employer in local communities across the UK.

Powered by JICREG, the awards, which offer entrants a chance of winning £1,000 of Apple vouchers, highlight the unique power of local media can help national brands reach communities across the UK. 

The responses must have local and regional media, in print and digital, at its core, and will be judged on innovative thinking about the opportunities afforded by local media.

The awards cover five categories; best original thinking, best strategy, best use of content, best use of local targeting, and best use of multi-platform.
