New Generation Award winners announced!

The event took place in a packed venue Thursday 29 September at the Ballroom, Monte Casino.

Founder of the awards Stephen Paxton said, “Submissions have improved and increased year-on-year, with South African corporates and agency marketing teams producing some truly remarkable work.”

“We saw 500 entries submitted this year from over 120 corporates, agencies and individuals; ‘affirmation that the industry is back on track and those never-ending strategy sessions paid off! Teams have become more technically minded, smarter strategies could be seen across multiple platforms, resulting in clever content with exciting conversations driving high engagement among the communities. The results achieved across a number of campaigns were phenomenal,” he continued.

Paxton also mentioned that a greater focus on Content Marketing was seen and the innovation shown by brands to capture audiences was second to none.

New Gen Awards would like to thank each that entered and made it as finalists.

The winners are as follows:
