Welcome

The ESA Excellence Awards are the only recognition of excellence within the sponsorship industry across Europe. They celebrate campaigns in all sectors - sport, culture, entertainment, media and corporate responsibility.

The 2012 Awards Ceremony and Dinner was held at the British Music Experience at The O2 in London on the 31st January 2013.

The ESA Excellence Awards, now in its seventh year, attracts entries from those working in marketing from across Europe. Sponsorship campaigns focus on business success, consumer or employee engagement and community projects. They vary in size from large national or multi-national campaigns to more modest, low-budget sponsorships. The Awards also cover specific targeting of an audience using a particular media platform - whether that be traditional or social.

Two new Awards were presented at the 2012 Ceremony; a Best of Europe Award saw 2012 national sponsorship award winners from different countries competing against each other. An ESA member Professional Development Award recognised companies that have shown the most commitment to developing their staff through training and education.
