The MRS Awards 2019 have opened for entries with a twist – the Research Live Best Agency category, which was traditionally split between those with turnovers above and below £20million, is now divided between Global Agency of the Year and UK Agency of the Year.

“We’ll be awarding a Global Agency of the Year title for the first time this year,” says Jane Frost CBE, CEO of MRS, “and we’ve expanded our Business Impact category to showcase both home grown and international projects.”

“With our traditional categories continuing to recognise the best in all areas of the sector, submitting an entry in 2019 is the definitive way to celebrate your successes with existing clients and let potential new ones everywhere know that the UK is still the world leader in innovative and ethical research.”

Criteria for the new Global Agency of the Year and Business Impact of the Year – Global categories, as well as their UK equivalents and all the other categories can be found here. The deadline for entries is 4pm on 2 July.

The winners will be announced at the MRS Awards dinner, which returns to Old Billingsgate on 2 December. This year’s host will be actor and stand-up Ben Bailey Smith, also known as rapper Doc Brown.
