The WARC Awards were significantly restructured in 2024, but there are no major changes this year – the focus is on encouraging entrants to submit the best versions of their case studies to add to WARC’s ultimate database of knowledge for the marketing community.

Insight on the awards

Potential entrants are invited to join one of three webinars where WARC’s Awards Lead John Bizzell will be joined by an impressive line up of judging alumni to discuss what it really takes to win and share behind-the-scenes insights into the judging process.

“We want to lean into the unique and comprehensive combination of resources WARC offers marketers to be the best that they can be to make their awards case studies truly excellent,” says John. “The WARC Awards 2025 are going to be our best showcase of marketing strategy yet.”
