IAB BOOKMARK AWARDS

All the Bookmarks 2022 finalists: Did you make the cut?

With just a little over a month left until the most-anticipated industry event of the year, the IAB South Africa is pleased to announce the finalists of the 2022 Bookmark Awards, in partnership with DStv Media Sales, which has supported the awards for the last five years.

Across the eight categories of Platforms, Communities, Channels, Emerging Digital Technology & Channels, Publishing, Campaign, Craft Awards and Special Honours, the Bookmark Awards continue to set the benchmark for innovation and digital excellence.

The final round of judging takes place on 23 and 24 June, with the awards ceremony set to be held on 28 July 2022.

Now in its 14th year, the Bookmarks has assembled the cream of the crop to don the judges’ hats. Leaders in their respective fields within the industry – from publishing and emerging technology to social media and design – these industry experts and specialists have been selected for their expertise and insight across innovation and creativity.

Driving digital change

“With digital increasingly becoming the most important marketing touchpoint for brands, a Bookmark represents the very pinnacle in marketing creativity," says Says Claire Cobbledick, vice-chairman at IAB South Africa and general manager at Gumtree South Africa.

Beyond celebrating excellence in digital work, the Bookmark Awards is the undeniable touchstone to drive digital change. Winning a Bookmark is not only a celebration of innovative and world-class work but the recognition of work that helps move the industry forward.

Matthew Arnold, head of the Bookmarks Committee, says: “As the importance of digital channels continues to explode, it is critical to recognise and showcase the incredibly impactful work done by our industry this past year. Work that delivered exceptional creativity, innovation and results. It is great to see the quality of the work continue to improve every year and really push the boundaries of digital marketing.”

Another excellent showcase of talent

Under the helm of jury president, Khensani Nobanda, group executive for marketing and corporate affairs at Nedbank Group and a member of the Nedbank Group executive leadership, this year’s Bookmark Awards is another excellent showcase of talent.

“The past two years have been challenging for the industry, however, this year’s entries are truly a display of the depth and breadth of creativity that can come out of even the most testing of times,” says Nobanda. “The showcase event on 28 July will be a testament to that.”

In the running

After an intense first round of judging by the Bookmarks Judging Panels, a diverse group of South Africans from within the digital, publishing and marketing industries, the following finalists have been shortlisted for the 2022 Bookmark Awards for a chance to beat the benchmark of digital excellence:
