IMG Awards > Marketing Lead of the Year

Marketing Lead
of the Year

The leaders. The motivators. The people spearheading successful campaigns and delivering knockout marketing numbers. With them in charge, you can’t lose – everyone’s inspired and pushing to go bigger and better. Give your marketing lead the recognition they deserve.

Everyone’s
a winner

Winning’s great, but just getting onto the award shortlist is a big win too. Our judging panel is a who’s who of our industry’s finest. So it’s great exposure for your nominee. And the ceremony is always held somewhere extra special – past year’s ceremonies have taken over the prestigious Old Library in the Lloyd’s building. This year, we’ll be over at Markel’s London office at 20 Fenchurch Street. We have also begun enrolling our finalists in a career workshop as of 2022.

What the winners say

“I would strongly encourage marketers in all roles to take part in this year’s IMG Awards. For me, being named Young Marketer of the Year by The Insurance Marketers Group in 2021 was and still is a tremendous honour. And EDII’s Digital Minds has given me access and exposure to– a quality network of supportive coaches, and fellow business practitioners, frameworks and toolkits to structure innovation problems and solve them. Thank you IMG and EDII for helping me advance and excel in my career.”

“Being shortlisted in the IMG awards, and joining the EDII Digital Minds programme, have given me much more confidence in my abilities. In 2021, I was quite new to Markel, and the industry, and I was worried my hard work wouldn’t be noticed during lockdown. The recognition I received during and after the IMG awards opened up opportunities for me to contribute to industry thought-leadership articles and I was featured in a book on the power of social media for B2B businesses. There’s no way I would have considered the opportunity to contribute to things like this without the confidence boost this recognition has given me.”

Jessica Williams Markel UK

"I was thrilled to become a finalist in the IMG’s Young Marketer of the Year Award as it’s the first award I’ve been nominated for within marketing and my career. It’s reassuring that marketers are now getting the recognition within the industry of what we bring to the market and will give future generations an award to strive for!"

Sindy Wade Marketing and Communications Executive

"Entering and winning the IMG’s Young Marketer of the Year award provided me with an invaluable opportunity to connect with some of the most talented and like-minded marketing professionals in the insurance industry. Attending the EDII course as part of that has also been great, equipping me with valuable techniques, tools and skills that will help further propel my career. The whole experience has been incredibly rewarding and I would encourage anyone looking to grow their marketing career to enter."

Make sure they
fit the bill

1

A marketer who’s led a campaign or project. Or managed a team and can demonstrate leadership, results and effective use of budget. Or has combined it all!

2

No specific age or time in the industry needed. If they fit the bill above, we’re all ears.

3

If they get through, we’ll need a testimonial from one of their leaders – someone more senior in the business who can endorse them.
