Campaign Middle East Marketing Game Changers Awards 2025

For the first time, Campaign Middle East is introducing the Marketing Game Changers Awards – a dedicated platform to celebrate the client-side marketers shaping the future of our industry.

Although Campaign Middle East has previously recognised standout marketers editorially, 2025 marks the launch of an official awards programme, with entries judged by an independent jury of respected leaders across the media and agency landscape.

These awards are free to enter and open to brand-side marketers across the
MENA region.

The winners will set a benchmark for marketing excellence, highlighting those who have driven measurable impact across brand building, creativity and technology, social responsibility, industry contribution and leadership.

Winners will be announced and profiled in Campaign Middle East’s 24 November 2025 issue in print and online. The top winner of the Marketing Game Changers Awards 2025 will be recognised as Campaign Middle East’s Marketer of the Year with a trophy presented at the AOTY Awards 2025 gala ceremony on 11 December, while the remaining winners will be recognised with a physical memento at the awards.

Eligibility

The awards are open exclusively to client-side marketers.

Nominees must have held their current role for at least one year.

Nominees must have worked in the MENA region for a minimum of
two years.

Agency professionals – including those from creative, media, production or adtech firms – are not eligible.

The entry submission should focus only on how the criteria have been met during the past 12 months, prior to the submission deadline. As such the eligibility period for criteria has been set from 29 Sept. 2024 to 29 Sept. 2025.
