Meet the Founders & Judges

Meet the Founders & Judges

Hello from the Founders

We’ve both worked across every industry sector, on both the agency and client sides, and one insight has remained constant throughout our combined 40+ years of experience: when Marketing Procurement is done well, brands, clients, agencies and our marketing colleagues all thrive.

Yet the role of Marketing Procurement in creating those successful outcomes is often overlooked.

It’s time to change that.

These inaugural Marketing Procurement Awards are designed to recognise, elevate, and celebrate the impact our community delivers every day, and to set the standard for what best-in-class truly looks like.

We would be honoured if you would join us.

The Judges

Our inaugural awards are independently assessed by a distinguished panel of judges drawn from across both the client and agency sides of the industry. Each judge brings extensive experience and expertise to the evaluation process, ensuring that every entry is reviewed with rigour and insight. Selected for their outstanding contributions and leadership within their respective fields, our judging panel represents the breadth and depth of talent across our industry. Their collective knowledge and impartial perspective guarantee that our awards recognise genuine excellence and innovation.

We’re grateful to our judges for their time, dedication, and commitment to celebrating the very best in the industry.
