Best of the Best: Judging the Native Ad Awards

This week, the Native Advertising Institute announced the first annual Native Advertising Awards, the first international awards for native advertising, and I'm pleased and honored to announce that — as a member of the Native Advertising Institute's Advisory Board — I'll be helping to judge the entries.

The awards are split up into 29 categories, and cover some fantastic niche subcategories that will make for some very unique entries and awards for groups, individuals, brands, campaigns and individual content pieces.

Organization: Agency/Studio of the Year, Platform of the Year, Marketer of the Year and more.

Strategy: Best Mobile Strategy, Most Effective Campaign, Most Creative Campaign and more.

Channel: Awards for best use of Programmatic, Podcast, Instagram, Slideshare, LinkedIn and more.

Format: Best infographic, text, audio, video and more.

Submissions opened June 29th and the deadline to submit your entries for consideration is September 1st.

Awards will be announced at the Native Ad Days event in Berlin in November, and I'll be there! Let me know if you will be too!
