The first – the Industry Thought Leader of the Year category – acknowledges the hard work and dedication of a thought leader who promotes growth, development, and success in the superannuation sector, while proposing new and challenging ideas and initiating conversations regarding the desired direction of the industry.
The second submissions-based category is Marketer of the Year, which champions a leading marketing, PR, or communications professional who supports the superannuation sector via the provision of their services to managers and firms. They should also demonstrate that their advice has bolstered reputation, professionalism, and best practices in the superannuation space.
The awards are open to every organisation and professional who supports the Australian superannuation industry, including large institutions and funds, boutique challengers, senior executives, and rising stars.
