Marquees has established itself as the foremost of all marketing awards. For the awards, The Ad Club (TAC) partnered with Kantar to design a robust and credible ranking mechanism to recognize marketing excellence of brands across a few generic and special categories. The selection process consisted of three steps to choose the nominees for each category of awards. The first step was to shortlist the brands based on brand performance, which was followed by incorporating additional evaluation measures that were then combined to give the jury a complete picture. Lastly, the screening jury finalized the winning brands based on the information provided and their own expertise.

Kantar’s methodology combined the background research and Brand shortlisting through the desk research, Syndicated reports and other industry reports to arrive at 10-12 top-performing brands in each category based on size and growth. Besides the product performance, for each shortlisted brand, information related to brand communication, spends and distribution was also gathered for further assessment.
