These awards ask for more than mere creativity.<\/p>\n<p>An Outstanding Networking Opportunity<\/p>\n<p>The fact that these annual accolades have been a fixture of the direct and integrated marketing industry calendar for an astounding 22 years, mean they offer an unparalleled networking opportunity \u2013 something that\u2019s become even more valuable in these times.<\/p>\n<p>Only the Best<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no need to bother with the rest. The DMASA has been hosting the Assegais since way back when \u2013 1998 to be exact. With an established pedigree stretching back a quarter century, the IDM industry really has the best reason to focus solely on its Assegai entries.<\/p>\n<p>Safe, Bru!<\/p>\n<p>The DMASA is keenly aware of the need to keep things socially distant safe as we continue to navigate the pandemic. Should we receive the go-ahead to stage a physical Awards event this year, there will be literally liters of sanitizer on hand, wonderfully spaced-out tables and common areas, and helpful hosts to keep the fun safe.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, aside from remembering the best reasons to enter the Assegai Awards, it\u2019s vital local marketers save the following key dates:<\/p>\n<p>The entry deadline for the Assegais is 31 August 2021 while the judging takes place from 17 to 24 September 2021 and the Awards Evening is set for 11 November 2021 \u2013 subject to the Covid-19 regulations applicable at this time.<\/p>\n<p>To enter the DMASA Assegai Integrated Marketing Awards, marketers simply select the Award Categories they would like to enter and then prepare submissions of less than 300 words.
