October 5, 2021

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, October 6, 2021 – Digital advertising specialist Acquire is one of the few Kiwi agencies named as finalists at two prestigious awards shows this year: The Drum Digital Awards and B&T Awards.

An almost clean sweep at The Drum Digital Awards saw Acquire named as a finalist in five categories: Best Buy Side Team, Best High Impact Campaign, Most Effective Use of Performance, Not-for-Profit/Charity and Rising Star. The agency was also a finalist in the Data-Driven Marketing category at the B&T Awards.

No stranger to accolades, Acquire won The Drum Best Ad Team in 2020 and Best Programmatic Trading Team at the B&T Awards, 2019.

“We are honoured to have made the shortlist alongside other leading agencies and brands, but it would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the amazing team and clients we work with,” said Zane Furtado, GM Technology and Innovation at Acquire.

Chris Schultz, Acquire CEO comments: “It is a testament to the hard work our team puts in every day to ensure our clients get best-in-class services. The breadth of our nominations demonstrates this. In particular, being nominated for data-driven marketing is the reward for our investment in the new future for Acquire.”

B&T Awards are Australia’s biggest and longest-running awards for the advertising, marketing and media industries. The Drum Digital Awards are an APAC awards programme, garnering global entries.

The Drum winners will be announced at the virtual award ceremony on 13th October 2021. B&T winners will be announced at the B&T awards ceremony on November 12.
