B&T’s 30 Under 30 Awards 2017 and daytime Forum Towards 2030 have both launched! To get you in the mood for Thursday April 27, we’re breaking down all 10 of the B&T Awards categories. Today it’s the media planning/buying category.

To enter the media planner/buyer category you can be, (but not limited to): media director, media planner, media buyer, media consultant, media coordinator, communications planner, digital buyer, digital planner, planning supervisor, media supervisor, communications director, broadcast planner.

But, before you get too excited and start typing furiously:

Rule number three. Entries close Monday 6th March (or Monday 13th March for those late to the party).

Get typing now and put your best foot forward here. Entry criteria for all of the awards categories can be found here. And remember to grab your tickets to the event here before they sell out.
