Q: What is The Hub?
A: Our aim is for The Hub to become a resource that marketers and agencies can use to access high award standard work.

It should help marketers browse the region’s best agencies and decide who to invite to their next pitch. And it’s all ANZ specific.
Q: Will anyone be able to view my entire entry on The Hub?
A: No! Your entry itself remains confidential. Only the part you submit for The Hub will be made public.
Q: Is The Hub mandatory?
A: No, you can opt out. This is just a chance to showcase your best work and give credit to those who created it.
