Makers & shakers believe it is important to recognise the achievements of professionals who work tirelessly to facilitate and support the work of creatives. Traditional awards are fantastic at honouring the best creative work, but can overlook the achievements of professionals who pioneer change within the global industry. That’s how makers & shakers Awards was born: with the intention of celebrating exceptional work that’s being done on the ground.
We are delighted to be supported by Equals. Benn Wynn, Equals CMO says “Our ethos at Equals is to make money management simple by finding solutions to complex problems. We are delighted to partner with Makers & Shakers Awards to celebrate those in the creative industries who display the same level of ingenuity that is at the heart of our mission”.
