Nominate now for the 2025 MAX Awards

Nominations are now open for the annual Financial Standard MAX (Marketing, Advertising and Sales Excellence) Awards.

Now running for more than three decades, the MAX Awards recognises industry excellence in the fields of marketing, advertising and sales in financial services.

Those working in financial services are encouraged to nominate the exceptional business development, marketing, advertising, and public relations talent they work with.

Last year, Financial Standard introduced a new category, Rising Star of the Year - Distribution, identifying the best young sales professional working for an investment management firm in a business development capacity.

This year, we introduce two new awards - Rising Star of the Year - Agency and Rising Star of the Year - Marketing. These awards recognise emerging talent in their respective fields, exclusively open to professionals with under five years' industry experience.

In all, there are 22 awards to be won.

Winners in 2024 included Betashares, BlackRock, Fidelity, La Trobe Financial, Insignia Financial, and HUB24.

Nominations close April 4, with voting to take place from April 14 through to May 2.

The winners will be announced at a dinner at Sydney's Illumina on Thursday, June 5.

Nominate now in the 2025 MAX Awards.
