 Welcome to the third edition of the Exchange for Media Indian Marketing Awards. These awards identify emerging trends and extend knowledge sharing among marketing professionals in the country. The IMA establishes that marketing is purposeful, effective and measurable and that it delivers business results, customer value and transformation. Awards are being given away for work done in India between July 2015 and June 2016. The response was enormous. The entries poured in from advertising and media agencies along with brands directly. First, the Screening Council, which comprised of marketing heads of top brands, appraised each entry online and prepared a short list for further consideration by the full jury. The grand jury then went through all the shortlisted entries and chose winners for the gold, silver and bronze awards in 14 categories and also named winners of the excellence awards. E4M IMA 2016 proudly presents the jury. The jury for the awards was led by Suresh Narayanan, chairman and managing director Nestle India. It consisted of some of the biggest names in marketing and ran custodians from India Incorporated. It was really a pleasure for me to be the chair of the IMA Awards jury today. It was not only a pleasure in terms of being involved in the entire professional process of going through the 14 different categories but I believe that I had the benefit of an outstanding set of jury members distinguished men from the industry, people with different backgrounds but with all with a single purpose of contributing to the larger cause of marketing, communication and business in this country. I would like to once again thank the exchange for media group for involving me in this entire process and for making me the chair of the jury. I would once again like to thank the members of the jury for being participative, for being professional, for being transparent but above all for pursuing the spirit of excellence.
