Paul Sigaloff, commercial director at Yahoo7, said: “It’s great to see the Yahoo7 Digital Stars program go from strength to strength since launching in 2012. This year we’ve seen the number of entries increase by more than 150 per cent (year on year) which is a true reflection of our customer engagement. However, what’s really exciting is it’s not just the quantity but the quality of the entries which has really stepped up.
“The Digital Stars program is a great way to recognise the amazing young talent we have here in Australia and New Zealand. Our awards serve as professional recognition for young digital media planners and buyers within their industry, organisations and among their peers.”
As well as the VIP access at Mumbrella360 the prize includes a trip to Sydney, lunch with Yahoo7 CEO Ed Harrison, a networking dinner with senior Yahoo7 and Yahoo New Zealand staff and a night at the Mumbrella Awards with Yahoo7.
Declaration of interest: The Digital Stars project is part of a commercial arrangement between Mumbrella and Yahoo!7.
