The World Media Group, a strategic alliance of the world’s
leading media brands, has extended its deadline for this year’s World Media
Awards (WMAs) by one week to Thursday 13th February. The organisers
are calling out for submissions from all over the world that demonstrate the
best in cross
platform, cross border, content-driven advertising.
The
free-to-enter awards are now in their fifth year and offer winners the
opportunity to be acknowledged as global leaders in international content-led
advertising. The WMAs are unique in not only giving recognition of the category
winners' work through the trophy on the night, but by also celebrating all
winning campaigns in a world-wide advertising campaign valued at more than €650k.
The winners' ad campaign runs across leading international media brands The
Atlantic, BBC Global News, Bloomberg Media Group, Business Insider, CNBC, The
Economist, Forbes, Fortune, National Geographic, The New York Times, Reuters, Time,
The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post, all members of the World Media
Group.
Alex Delamain, President of the World
Media Group and SVP, Head of Sales & Client Services, EMEA, The Economist
said, "As content has
become an increasingly important part of the marketing mix, the number of entries and the quality of submissions
has risen significantly since the WMAs began five years ago. We’ve extended the entry deadline today to encourage
even more participation from all over the world. I look forward to seeing a diverse range of innovative campaigns
that represent best-in-class, content-driven marketing.”
