MRS Awards 2017
26th November 2017
The MRS Awards celebrate research’s ability to drive innovation, inspire change and deliver results. The Awards were created to recognise creativity, science, commerce and most importantly, research.
According to an independent review by advisors PwC, the UK professional research and evidence market generates up to £3bn a year of Gross Value Added (GVA), making a significant contribution to UK plc, and employs close to 60,000 highly-qualified people. This is why the research market and individuals involved deserve recognition, and is the purpose behind MRS Awards.
Each year, in December, the research world gathers to celebrate the very best it has to offer. It is quite simply the biggest fixture in the research calendar, with over 800 guests. The Awards dinner is the calendar event for anyone interested in and connected to market research. Susan Calman, comedian and Strictly Come Dancing contestant, presents this year’s awards, including the new Jeremy Bullmore Award for Creative Development.
As the MRS states:
“Join colleagues, clients, agencies and research legends to find out who will scoop the most prestigious prizes in research. It’s a night for professional pride and fantastic networking.”
The highlight of the market and social research industry calendar, the Market Research Society awards showcase the best the industry has to offer. Here are the highlights from last years event.
The finalists for 2017 are listed below. The winners will be announced at the MRS Awards Dinner on 4 December at the Supernova, London.
