Autocar Business has announced the winners for its inaugural Automotive Marketing & Communications Awards, with 13 companies emerging victorious across 15 categories.
With strong entries across each category, the judges were impressed by the breadth and depth of creativity on display, despite all the turbulence of the past couple of years.
Open to a range of companies and agencies, from digital marketing operators to software and data intelligence specialists, the awards recognise achievement across a range of categories.
Each entry was reviewed by a panel of judges: Jack Carter (automotive brand partnerships lead, TikTok); Michelle Davis (automotive lead, LinkedIn); John Gardiner (executive director of communications, Ford of Britain & Ireland, and corporate communications, Ford of Europe); Mark Harrison (managing director, Praga Cars UK); David Parkinson (CEO and MD, Brave & Heart); Michelle Roberts (marketing director, BMW UK); Mike Biscoe (European marketing director, Maserati); Paul Lilly (head of brand, Harley Davidson UK); Anil Manji (Cabinet Office); Kate Thompson (head of marketing, press and public relations, Volkswagen Vans); and Hamel Soni (senior industry head of automotive, Google).
The judges were chaired by industry expert Gabi Whitfield and awarded points on three main criteria, ranking the strength of the idea or programme, how well it was executed and delivered and its overall results.
