FMBE Awards announces 2016 shortlist

A record entry at FMBE this year has made shortlisting harder than ever. As usual FMBE has attracted the best brand campaigns from global and challenger brands with strong interest and representation from agencies nationally and globally. Congratulations to all who have made it. Feedback is available for all that didn’t make it following the awards night on October 20th. You may pre-request feedback for any entry not making the shortlist via victoria@fieldmarketing.com. Judges have selected 6 or 7 finalists per category, bar A & F where 8 were chosen and U where a late withdrawal post-judging has left us with 5 finalists.

If you have made the shortlist, congratulations, you are the tip of the iceberg in a very fine year. Please come and celebrate your achievements with us at the awards evening. This is your industry and your event, so come and share in the fun and networking. Tables/seats are prioritised by booking order. A booking form is here.

Agency of the Year contenders are due to be announced on Thursday morning, 8th September.
