Any member of the global marketing community can nominate an inspiring global or regional leader* before October 16, 2022. They can do this simply by clicking on the ‘Nominate now’ button on the award page.

Additionally, our expert jury of global marketers and industry experts – chaired by Mastercard’s Raja Rajamannar – can nominate those they think deserve wider recognition.

*Please note, this award is open to any client-side marketer in a senior global or regional position, who has worked for their company for a minimum of two years. Jury members should not be nominated.

Phase one: the shortlist

Nominations can be received until October 16, and will be considered by our expert jury in November, who will create a shortlist.

Each jury member will vote for their ten preferred candidates from the full list of nominations. Those votes will be added together and those marketers with the highest score will be shortlisted.

In the event of a tie, the jury president will cast the deciding vote.

Phase two: appointing the winner

The shortlisted marketers will be profiled on our website and by our media partner The Drum, so everyone can learn more about these marketeers their successes in addressing the challenges facing their brands.

You will then be able to vote for the winner of the WFA Global Marketer of the Year 2022 during the public voting phase. These votes will account for 50% of the score, with another 50% from a new vote by the expert jury, considering just the shortlisted marketers.

The winner will be announced in early February 2023.
