Calling all B2B marketing heroes – the 2019 LinkedIn Marketing Awards are here

The LinkedIn Marketing Awards recognise marketers as the B2B heroes that you are – heroes that make a real difference to your businesses. With new categories this year, and entries now open to businesses across EMEA and Brazil, we’ll be celebrating more of these marketing heroes than ever before. And the time to put your entry forward is now.

Our Awards are open to any business or agencies operating in EMEA or Brazil that uses LinkedIn to market to other businesses or to our professional audience. Any marketing activity within these regions over the last year is valid for entry, whether it includes paid media or not. For 2019, we’ve added two new categories that help to recognise the many different ways that marketers on LinkedIn make a difference:

• The Best High Value Consumer Campaign recognises the campaigns inspiring our high net worth audience with luxury products and premium services.
• The In It Together Award recognises the collaborations between teams or external partners that drive great campaigns.

These new awards take their place alongside our existing categories that recognise the B2B marketers stepping up as heroes through their use of LinkedIn:

• Best B2B Brand Campaign (categories for large and small businesses)
• Best B2B Lead Generation (categories for large and small businesses)
• Best B2B Video
• Best B2B Thought Leadership Content
• The People’s Choice Award

There’s no limit to how many campaigns you can put forward for awards – and you can enter each campaign for as many different awards as you like. All you need to do is visit the LinkedIn Marketing Awards website, and submit your entry by the deadline of 11:59 pm, London time, on November 8th.

What do you get if you win?

Besides our coveted LinkedIn Marketing Awards trophy, winners and shortlisted finalists will be the heroes of our biggest promotional campaign for the Awards yet. We’ll be sharing your stories across LinkedIn’s paid and owned media channels, including posts on our LinkedIn Marketing Solutions blog, video stories on LinkedIn, and a special pull-out section of our bestselling magazine, The Sophisticated Marketer Quarterly. With our new judging panel of respected marketing experts sharing their insights on the qualities of our winning campaigns, there’s no better opportunity to showcase your business, your brand – and how you contribute to it.
