Gill Parker, Chair of Judges
As someone who began my career in marketing before moving into senior leadership within UK architecture and the wider built environment sector, I have always advocated for marketing representation at the board level. Accurate and compelling storytelling is vital to driving business strategy, building trust, and unlocking an organization's full potential.
While our sector has not always been known for its marketing communications, we have witnessed monumental leaps forward in creativity and style. Marketing professionals are often the unsung heroes of our industry, and the Built Influence Awards provide a dedicated moment to recognize and celebrate this abundant excellence.
We have assembled an impressive panel of judges - comprising journalists and senior marketing professionals from both inside and outside our industry - to review the entries.
