After six years of celebrating marketing excellence, the organisers of the Malaysian CMO (Chief Marketing Officers) Awards are running a Discovery Edition this year.
Last year’s CMO awards theme, NEXT STOP: CEO, was a huge success with the Awards Induction ceremony held at the Malaysian Petroleum Club at the KL Twin Towers. Watch the video here.
There was even an exclusive coffee table book published to showcase the winners.
Winners from the coming show on March 26 will be showcased in MARKETING’s Weekender Edition that reaches out to more than 50,000 readers.
This year’s Discovery Edition opens its doors to new candidates who have never won before.
“We are ready to take things to the next level by looking for new high achievers in the field. Fame is a key driver of success in our field, and I’m committed to spotlighting leaders who deserve recognition,” says Prof Harmandar Singh aka Ham, President of the Malaysian CMO Awards.
It will also seek out marketing leaders from SME/SMIs with annual revenues of RM50 million and below.
“We wish to tribute amazing marketing minds who deliver marketing excellence, regardless of the size of their companies or budgets.”
“To help us achieve our objectives, I have been blessed by the support and advice from past winners in the nomination and judging process. We have been brainstorming new ways of moving the needle in the industry, and I am proud to say we keep reinventing ourselves for the better,” adds Ham.
CMO Awards winners from last year were invited to submit their nominations, and the submission process has already begun for more than 20 candidates in this Discovery Edition.
This shortlisting of possible winners by industry peers who have already achieved award-winning success adds a key pre-qualifier to the awards. Plus it embraces an inclusive spirit to progress together, a collectiveness already prevalent at the Malaysian CMO Awards.
Past Malaysian CMO winners have gone on to head companies and sit on boards. Many have also expanded their roles to include regional and Asia footprints. The CMO award is more than an award,
it is the stepping stone to a sustainable career in leadership and success, projecting a powerful marketing mindset to the forefront of growth.
Judging criteria for the Awards:
- Marketing Performance (30%) – Campaign challenges, objectives, strategy, success, and uniqueness.
- Business Performance (30%) – Revenue growth, market expansion, brand traction, and customer satisfaction.

The winners for the coming Malaysian CMO awards will be announced in mid February and the Awards Induction ceremony evening will held at the Malaysian Petroleum Club on March 26, 2025.
