These companies have shown us their Next Level Marketing and made it through as finalists in the 2020 TVNZ-NZ Marketing Awards.
In May, NZ Marketing magazine in association with StopPress and the Marketing Association invited marketers from all industries to share their bold moves, strategic plays and integrated thinking that has gone into producing some Next Level results. With the first round of judging complete, these are the unique marketing initiatives that make up the 2020 finalists.
The 2020 TVNZ-NZ Marketing Awards will be held on Tuesday, 10 November, 2020 at Cordis, Auckland.
