First Mumbrella Awards shortlists revealed
The first shortlists can be revealed for this year’s Mumbrella Awards.
The process has undergone a major revamp this year with new categories, a rigorous, two-stage judging process and Telstra’s chief marketing officer Mark Buckman as independent chairman of the juries.
Among the most hotly contested categories are the new ones of The Mumbrella Award for Bravery, The Mumbrella Award for Culture, The Mumbrella Award for Innovation and The Mumbrella Award for Culture, which received more than 40 entries each.
The awards take place at Doltone House in Sydney on the evening of Thursday September 13.
We today reveal the shortlists for the agency of the year categories
Among the most intriguing categories is that of creative agency of the year, which sees the Sydney and Melbourne offices of Clemenger BBDO go head-to-head, and the same for Leo Burnett.

Because of capacity limitations at the venue, tables at the event are unlikely to be available for sale beyond shortlisted teams.
More shortlists will be revealed tomorrow.
