We know top talent is scarce in the media sector. That’s what you keep telling us! So, in April, we asked readers of The Media and The Media Online to tell us who they thought scored 10 out of 10 so we could celebrate our industry’s top achievers who consistently out-perform their colleagues.
The criteria were that the person had to be between 25 and 35-years-old, and work either in a media agency or a media owner sales team.
The winner will be rewarded not just by her peers, but will also receive a bursary to study for a Diploma in Media Practices to further their education, worth R130 000, from Boston Media House.
The top six nominees are now in, nominated by their peers and industry leaders. And once more, we’re calling on you to tell us who you believe should get the nod and walk off with a truly valuable prize.
Here are the profiles for the finalists:
We feature all six contenders on the website, who answered our questions in their own words. Their stories are in alphabetical order.
Once you’ve decided who you think should win, and hear their name announced at this year’s MOST Awards on 13 September, send your nomination to lauren@wagthedog.co.za by close of business on Wednesday, 27 July 2016.
