This year M&M Global has teamed up with The Media Leader to take its Media Leaders Awards global. For the past four years it has focused entirely on the UK, but for the first time it is going international as the categories look to celebrate media’s leaders who are having a positive impact on their teams, companies and/or industry around the world.
Leadership is tough whether you are managing one, or a thousand people. Every decision a leader makes has an impact on someone, or something and there will be times when they get things wrong, but the good ones find a way of making a success of leadership. It’s why we want to highlight those leaders who are having a positive effect on their teams.
- What are the jurors looking for?
The jury will be looking to identify and recognise the leaders – junior and senior – who are having a positive impact and inspiring those who work for them. This is the first time Festival of Media has ventured into awarding people, but the partnership with The Media Leader allows the business to recognise those inspiring the best work throughout media by driving a positive culture and improving productivity. One of our jurors is The Media Leader Content Director James Longhurst.
- Retain and attract the best talent
Employees and potential hires want to work for leaders who are ground-breaking, drive innovation and inspire their staff. Nothing says that more than winning a leadership award.
- Clients like their leaders to be effective
When pitching for business clients want their agency, media owner and adtedch company leaders to be authentic, transparent and able to motivate their teams to deliver the best work and the most impactful results. For brand leaders it is an opportunity to cement their position and be perceived as a thought leader and industry innovator.
