IMG Awards > Young Marketer of the Year

Young Marketer
of the Year

We’re looking for that young star who’s stood out and flourished.
Those team players you can’t do without – they get things done, go above and beyond, and their results over the last 12 months have blown your marketing socks off.

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.

The prize if they
go all the way

The winner’s prize is always about taking their career even further. A past example being a spot on EDII’s Digital Minds programme – a virtual 10-month course, equipping them with new concepts and techniques to empower their career in a digital age. Get the full story on EDII’s website.

What the winners say

"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."

Louisa Dewey Optio Group

“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.”

Linh Nguyen Liberty Mutual Insurance

“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!"
