MARKETECH APAC’s newly launched ‘NEXT Awards’ to celebrate innovation, excellence in marketing industry

by Teddy Cambosa

-

January 16, 2025

The marketing industry stands at the forefront of dynamic evolution, driven by technological advancements, shifting consumer behaviours, and a relentless pursuit of creativity. In a world where change is the only constant, marketers are reimagining strategies, adopting cutting-edge tools, and forging new paths to connect with audiences like never before.

This continued progress highlights the industry’s adaptability and commitment to staying relevant in an ever-changing world. It is a testament to the marketing profession’s ability to transform challenges into opportunities and harness the power of innovation for sustainable growth and impactful communication.

With this, MARKETECH APAC is proud to announce the launch of its NEXT Awards 2025, a groundbreaking celebration of excellence, innovation, and creativity in the ever-evolving marketing industry. Bearing the tagline “Shaping innovation, the future of marketing”, the awards highlight the continuous evolution of marketing, offering a platform that acknowledges the exceptional efforts of individuals, teams, agencies, and organisations who shape the future of the industry.

Why you should join the NEXT Awards 2025?

As the pinnacle of the What’s NEXT in Marketing Series 2025, the NEXT Awards represents the recognition of visionaries and game-changing marketing campaigns for their transformative impact across the Asia-Pacific region. 

Embracing a spirit of innovation, the awards are designed as a high-stakes tournament. Local winners—Bronze, Silver, and Gold—from Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines advance to the grand finale, competing again for the NEXT Awards 2025 Asia-Pacific happening in Singapore on 27 November 2025. Meanwhile, entries from Singapore are directly considered at the APAC level. 

Should a category receive more than three entries from Singapore, the highest-scoring entry will be named the national winner. This distinctive format highlights local champions across the region, providing them a platform to demonstrate their excellence and compete for recognition as Asia-Pacific’s best in marketing and innovation.

Categories and key dates

The NEXT Awards 2025 features 49 subcategories, spanning across the main categories ‘Marketing Campaigns’, ‘Agencies’, ‘Individuals’, ‘Teams’, and the ‘Grand Prix’. More details about the timeline for the awards in various markets can be found below:
