Organized by The Hong Kong Management Association since 1985, these prestigious Marketing Awards aim to give recognition to outstanding marketers in Hong Kong and their campaigns as a means to upgrade the standards of marketing profession. The Awards have been sponsored by Television Broadcasts Ltd since 1989.

This year the Campaign Award attracted many quality entries from a wide spectrum of industries such as airlines, banking and finance, electronics, food & beverage, government department, hotel, personal care, properties, public utilities, publications, retail, telecommunications and so forth.

All the participating companies are required to submit a five-page write-up summarizing the objectives, strategies and results of their marketing programmes. A Board of Examiners combining the Marketing Management Committee and the Marketing Awards Organizing Committee will then shortlist the six most outstanding campaigns for final presentation. The judging will be based on a number of criteria including well-defined objectives, effective use of market research, and development of the product/service to meet market needs, integrated and well-organized communications programmes, effective distribution channels, originality, efficient administration and finally achievement of the planned results.

The Final Judging will be held on Saturday, 3 September 2005 at the Association during which the judges will decide on the Gold, Silver and Bronze Prize winners as well as the three Certificate of Excellence recipients.
