After twelve years of running the City Nation Place Awards, I’m still blown away by the creativity and innovation of place brand and marketing teams from around the world. Place branding and marketing is an incredibly demanding job, the importance of which is often severely underestimated. It’s an absolute pleasure to be able to celebrate the individuals and teams working tirelessly to support the growth and development of their cities, regions, and nations, and we look forward to giving them their much-deserved moment in the spotlight at the Awards Ceremony on November 5th

Clare Dewhirst, Chair of the City Nation Place Awards Jury
