RAEAWARDS Announces Three New Categories

It’s Awards Time: Calling NZ Research, Insights and Data Agencies and Clients

The wait is over and the excitement begins, with entries opening for the bi-annual Research Association Effectiveness Awards 2016 and with three new categories announced!

“This is going to be a fantastic year,” says Horst Feldhaeuser, Board Member, Research Association New Zealand. “We’ve introduced three new categories to ensure our RAEAWARDS continue to develop alongside global and local trends and emulate the way our members conduct their research activities.”

International Award
This is a new award for a New Zealand based agency or client working in at least 1 international market. The work may involve multiple research partners but the lead agency or client must be based in New Zealand. The end client may be based in New Zealand or entirely off-shore.

Community Advancement Award
This is a new award for work conducted primarily for the greater good of the profession or the wider community. For example pro-bono work for not-for-profits or work that significantly contributes to social or societal issues.

Sustained Success Award
This is a new award for work over a minimum of 3 years, showing how an ongoing research initiative leads to success. For example multiple success points of an ongoing client-research partnership, longitudinal or tracking work.

“We feel these new categories will really open up further opportunities for non-traditional and more diverse entries, we encourage anyone involved with research, data and insights to visit our website to find out more and for the full list of award categories” says Horst.

Mark your diaries for the professional insight industry’s big night out. The awards will be presented at a black tie evening at The Hilton Hotel, 2 September 2016.
