Deadline Approaches For Local Media Works Awards

The deadline to enter the Local Media Works Awards is fast approaching with just one week remaining for media planners to enter the scheme, which is powered by JICREG.

The awards challenge media planners to come up with a media plan promoting Subway franchise opportunities and its importance as an employer in local communities with local media at its heart.

The winners will win the prize of brunch with unlimited bubbles at the Shard.

Entries will be judged on innovative thinking about the opportunities afforded to advertisers by local media. In addition to the overall prize, the first five entries will be entered into a raffle to be in with a chance of winning a hamper.

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

A judging panel chaired by Stewart Easterbrook, chairman of MiQ and chairman of Medialab Group, will assess entries from agencies across the media industry.

In addition to Stewart, the judging panel for the awards consists of:

• Brandon Bell, Specsavers head of regional and local marketing;
• Sacha Clark, ‎Subway country marketing director UK & Ireland,
• Keith Donaldson, JICREG chief executive;
• Justin Fenton, Local Media Works head of marketing;
• Richard Lee, RNLI regional marketing manager;
