Overview
The Newsworks Awards return in 2024 to celebrate, recognise and reward the very best advertising in news brands, from effective and innovative multi-platform ads to purpose-led, sustainable-friendly campaigns, as well as beautifully designed, cleverly crafted, quick-witted ads and everything brilliant in between. We’ll also pay special tribute to the best young agency talent with our rising star award and give kudos to the ultimate advertiser of the year.
The Newsworks Awards will be judged by a top line-up of brand and agency leaders and chaired by Claire Sadler, chief marketing officer at the British Heart Foundation.
Winners will be announced at an exclusive party at 12th Knot roof top bar on London’s South Bank on Tuesday 3 December, with an unrivalled backdrop of the River Thames and St Paul’s Cathedral.
