Introduction

Managing Director
Campaign Asia-Pacific
Campaign's Digital Media Awards 2021 are setting out to celebrate the best digital marketing work, agencies, brands and talent in Greater China.
As the region's digital industry continues to lead the world in terms of creativity and innovation, this awards competition aims to celebrate the truly outstanding work that delivers results. Categories have been selected to reflect the development and growth of digital marketing in Greater China. As you'll find in this entry kit, work can be entered by vertical sector and by type of media engaged.
In our effort to honour and nurture the best talent, these awards feature people categories to recognise the industry's digital leaders. In addition, Campaign will be handing out the Platinum Award to the best campaign and crowning the Digital Media Awards Agency of the Year 2021.
An independent jury, comprising leading client marketers, digital practitioners, and agency strategists, as well as other experts in the field of digital marketing, will judge entries.
We look forward to a truly competitive year and uncovering work that's innovative and inspirational.
