August 7, 2013 | 4 min read

MiAwards, the annual awards scheme organised by MiNetwork which aim to identify the very best independent marketing services agencies in the UK, are now officially open for entry and the judging panel has today been bolstered by the appointment of AMV BBDO chief executive Ian Pearman and commercial director of Odeon Cinemas Andy Edge.

Can your agency business impress AMV BBDO boss Perman?

Now in its fifth year, MiAwards is open to both MiNetwork member and non-member agencies and award categories cover both Business and Strategic Marketing giving independent agencies of all sizes the opportunity to show that not only are they highly successful businesses in their own right, but the work they do for clients is also highly effective.

All MiNetwork members receive two complimentary entries to MiAwards as part of their membership package and this year MiAwards is being sponsored by a range of leading suppliers of services and products to agencies including Little Black Book, Wild Heather Digital Research, Boutique Media, The Wow Company and Evolution Print.

Along with Pearman and Edge, the judging panel also consists of Barry Dudley, a parter at corporate finance and advisory practice Greensquare, former Vice President of DDB Worldwide and founder of agency advisory service Juniper2 Advisory Noel Penrose and Steve Antoniewicz of the Recommended Agency Register, with more clientside marketers and agency experts to be added in the weeks leading up to the entry deadline of Friday 13th September.

Richard Draycott, managing director of MiNetwork and associate editor of The Drum, said: “I’m delighted to have some real agency experts on the judging panel who really know what it takes to build a successful agency business. I’m also delighted to have a brand like Odeon on board to focus on the marketing categories and look forward to seeing the entries. MiAwards has certainly grown over the last five years as MiNetwork has grown and for agencies to win one of our awards is a real demonstration that they are a marketing business that is heading in the right direction.”

The MiAwards also include a number of Public Vote categories, which aim to reward some of the individuals in the industry who have performed well during the year. These categories will be launched in the coming days, giving the industry the opportunity to nominate who they think deserves recognition. More details of these will be announced on The Drum website in the coming days.

Last year more than 300 agency owners, directors and clients attended the MiAwards dinner, which this year will take place on Thursday 14th November in Manchester.

For more information on the Categories and how to enter this year’s MiAwards please visit the website.
