The Direct Marketing Association of South Africa (DMASA) Assegai Integrated Marketing Awards are one of the highlights of the industry’s calendar, and the most revered in Africa. With the judging scheduled to take place in September, award entries are open until Friday, 23 August.

There’s plenty of time to prepare your submission and stand a chance to walk away with one or more of these prestigious accolades.

"In the Information Age, clients no longer accept a marketer at face value when deciding whether to purchase a product or procure a service. Winning credible awards can go a long way in demonstrating that you or your agency are trustworthy marketers who deliver results," says DMASA’s CEO David Dickens.

"Being an award-winning marketer will open doors for more business by assuring your prospective customer of your capability, creativity and commitment to excellence," Dickens adds. 

The Assegai Awards aims to acknowledge the talented elite whose integrated marketing campaigns deliver exceptional results, and encourage all players in the industry to work towards achieving greatness in their campaigns.

The ultimate goal remains to keep raising the bar for the whole industry.

Key dates to remember:
  • Entry Deadline: Friday, 23 August
  • Judging commences: Friday, 27 September
  • The Assegai Awards Evening: Thursday, 7 November
