Magnetic is pleased to announce the shortlist for this year’s Spotlight Awards.

The Spotlight Awards recognise and reward agencies and clients for good work and smart thinking, showcasing the most effective campaigns that have run in partnership with magazine brands.

The entries were judged by Robert Bridge, Chief Customer Officer, Cinch; Jan Gooding, chair PAMCo, marketing leader and executive coach; Richard James, Creative Director, Spec Savers; Mike Follett, MD, Lumen Research; and Sajeeda Merali, CEO, PPA.

Sajeeda Merali, CEO, PPA commented: “It was fantastic to read how such a broad range of advertisers have been using magazine media to deliver on their brand goals. We received the highest number of entries since these awards began, which is testament to the extensive partnership opportunities that specialist media businesses can deliver. The judges were impressed by the great examples of persuasive storytelling, strategic thinking and compelling audience insight and there was much debate to reach this shortlist. I look forward to the awards night and celebrating all the great work.”
