2020 nominations announced for The Drum Awards for Digital Advertising APAC
The Drum Awards for Digital Advertising (formerly Digital Trading Awards) recognise the best digital media in advertising, the most effective technological innovations and the people behind them.

The shortlist for The Drum Awards for Digital Advertising APAC has been announced.
This year’s jury included senior brand and agency figures from S4Capital, APEX, Wavemaker, Spotify, Ogury, Twitch, Jellyfish, GSK Consumer Health, AirAsia and more. The judging panel was chaired by Asha Gourinath, Lead For Digital Marketing & CRM, Growth Markets for SEA, at Grab.
These awards would not be possible without the support of The Drum's partners: AdColony, Ad-Lib, DoubleVerify, Ogury, Winmo, and Xandr.
In light of the ongoing global situation, The Drum Awards have moved online and a virtual ceremony will take place on Wednesday 11 November. This will be part of The Digital Summit festival and free to attend. You can register via the festival website to be kept up to date.
