MORE CATEGORIES & MORE WAYS TO WIN
PHARMA: We’re seeking the best life sciences and pharmaceutical industry advertising from 2023. This category, which was launched two years ago, aims to highlight the creativity of the pharma industry from small to large companies and brands.
CREATIVE EFFECTIVENESS: The advertising community is increasingly recognizing the importance of creative effectiveness as brands are demanding to know whether campaigns are producing results. Through the effective use of media, creativity and analytics, agencies and brands are using a more comprehensive approach to determine success on a broad range of metrics. Based on this increased focus, we are introducing this new category for the Jersey Awards.
To submit an entry, choose from a list of potential metrics, found on the entry form for Creative Effectiveness, and show proof that your entry was effective.
HONORING THE BEST OF JERSEY
The Annual Jersey Awards presents First and Second Place trophies and an Award of Excellence Certificate in the sub-categories. In addition, Best of Category Trophies and a one-of-a-kind Best in Show Award will be presented.
Jersey Awards has 10 Major Categories (see Categories Tab) covering Public Relations, Social Media, Digital Media, Television, Video, Radio, Music, Out-of-Home, Newspaper, Magazine, Collateral / All Printed Materials.
Entries will be judged by out-of-state advertising professionals. Winners will be notified by mid-July as to which entry has won an award. Awards will be announced at the 56th Annual Jersey Awards Exhibition and Ceremony on September 18th, 2024 at The Grove, Cedar Grove, New Jersey.
Plus, the Outfront Edge Award
The Outfront Edge award sponsored by Outfront Media, will be awarded to the company whose overall work has been deemed the most creative and innovative.
