Australia’s premier media &
marketing awards

This year marked the eighth running of the Mumbrella Awards – Australia’s biggest and most respected media and marketing awards, celebrating the best, bravest and brightest work across the industry. This year, over 150 senior industry executives judged 30 categories that spanned media, marketing, advertising, PR and production. The awards were celebrated in style at The Star in Sydney, with 900 in attendance. While the media and marketing industry changes constantly, the awards haven’t. The award winners were selected after a rigorous judging process, and proudly presented by industry leaders at the star-studded ceremony.
