In addition to impact in their everyday roles, the judges were looking for someone who had a strong point of view on the future of marketing, and could inspire and lead the next generation of marketers in Aotearoa. Simran demonstrated exceptional promise as a future leader, combining theoretical knowledge, practical execution and unwavering commitment to continuous up-skilling and learning. Beyond the strong results in her submission, which showed her customer-centricity and strong strategic nous, the judges were impressed by Simran’s genuine passion for marketing that extends meaningfully beyond her company walls. From starting a business to mentoring, to identifying gaps in university curriculum, it was admirable to see her drive in pushing herself and inspiring others around her. The judges are excited to see the journey Simran takes in marketing but also what she will bring to the wider marketing profession.” Show less
