Bullet points used to separate names of RSVP and Nexus judges

In anticipation of another year’s worth of world-class entries, the New Zealand Marketing Association (NZMA) has secured over 50 big brained experts, specialists and industry virtuosos to determine who will take home the metal at this year’s RSVP and Nexus Awards.

Over several rounds of in-depth scrutiny, the line-up of expert judges will ask the tough questions and assess all entries to acknowledge the innovation, creativity and strategic vision within response-driven marketing campaigns and the individual elements and foundations on which such campaigns are based.

In his role as chief judge of the Nexus Awards, Graham Sergent, country manager at Acxiom (NZ) is “delighted to have such a broad and highly regarded group of expert practitioners from our industry” to judge alongside.

Wearing dual hats as chief judge for both the RSVP and RSVP Craft Awards is Patrick Laughran, chief advocate at Aspi.

“As the industry adds new technologies and methods to achieve and improve profitability, the skills and expertise required of judges similarly changes. The collective skills experience and qualifications of this year’s judges more than meets this dynamic,” he says.

And for all those ‘last-minuters’, entries close: 5pm Friday 22 October. Info at the awards website.
