Awards

The Marketing Society Awards

The Marketing Society Awards were established in 1985 and are designed to be accessible to organisations of any size and sector. There are special prizes for smaller companies, not for profit organisations and business to business marketing. The Awards categories reflect strategic marketing objectives that are common to all organisations. Your submissions will be judged against the marketing achievements of all types of business – rather than just those of direct competitors in your industry sector. Members can access past award-winning papers in the Content area of our website. Log in using your email and password to gain access.

To register your interest or find out more head to our Awards site.

Star Awards (Scotland)

The Marketing Society Star Awards was established in 2004 and celebrate innovation, leadership and drive and recognise the work that achieves results and makes a real difference, both within the marketing industry and beyond. You can register your details and access past winning papers on our Star Awards site.

Events

How many can I attend as a member?

Unlimited, we run our events for you and hope to see you at many of our (physical and virtual) events. Some are included as part of your membership, for others there is a cost. See what's coming up on our Events page.

Can I attend if I'm not a member?

For UK events you can attend one event as a non-member to experience our network. A member can send a non-member to replace them at the non-member rate. Non-members that replace a member will also be subject to the 'one event rule', whereby they will not be able to attend another event unless they themselves become a member. Outside of the UK non-members are able to attend events around the world in our hubs.

How do I book events?

Book via our website. If an event is invite-only there will be instructions on the event page as to how you can be added to the enquiry list. If an event is sold out please contact the team and we can place you on a waiting list in case places become available.

What happens if I've booked an event and would like to send someone in my place?

You can send another member in your place, at no extra cost. You can send a non-member in your place at a non-member charge (this rate varies depending on the event, please contact us to confirm the rate). Non-members that replace a member will be subject to the 'one event rule', whereby they will not be able to attend another event unless they themselves become a member.

What is your standard cancellation policy?

Tickets can be cancelled up to two weeks prior to the event date. All cancellations will be subject to a 30% administration charge. Any cancellations made two weeks prior to the event will be charged at the full ticket price. See our T&Cs.
