The NZ Marketing magazine and the NZ Marketing Association are delighted to reveal the long-awaited finalists for the 2025 YouTube NZ Marketing Awards.

Congratulations to all those named as finalists! The complete list of finalists can be found here.

The YouTube NZ Marketing Awards celebrate exceptional marketing across strategies, campaigns and individuals. After a triumphant awards event last year, NZ Marketing magazine and the NZ Marketing Association are thrilled to continue our partnership with YouTube. 

Now in its 34th year, the Awards celebrate the collective excellence in strategic and creative thinking that goes into award-winning marketing. They recognise exceptional marketing and marketing professionals that shape successful businesses across all aspects of the discipline. They:

• set the standards for marketers and their service industries in a local context.
• provide examples of integrated marketing that have been rigorously judged by an independent panel of some of the country’s most respected marketers and business leaders.
• raise business and organisational awareness — both private and public sector — of the value of marketing, and understanding of the economic importance of marketing excellence.
• demonstrate the tangible (commercial and human) benefits that accrue from marketing excellence.

The 2025 YouTube NZ Marketing Awards Night promises to be an unforgettable experience, celebrating the biggest and brightest marketing talent and work in Aotearoa. Expect high-energy glamour, three-course fine dining, drinks, networking, and a fabulous after-party.
