Last Call For Agencies To Enter Local Media Works Awards
Agencies have been issued with a final call to enter the Local Media Works Awards which showcases the power of local media to deliver results for national advertisers.
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.

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 seven categories; best original thinking, best strategy, best use of content, best use of local targeting, best use of JICREG, best use of multi-platform and best of the best.
