Sammie Eales of Mail Metro Media, winner of the 2024 Future Media Leader of the Year Award, commented: “Winning the Future Media Leader Award was a defining moment in my career. It gave me the confidence to trust my instincts and lead my team in delivering innovative, data-led solutions that drive real revenue and deliver outcomes for our partners.”
“The recognition also opened doors to invaluable industry conversations and networking opportunities, helping me grow both professionally and personally. Attending Adwanted events has been a brilliant bonus — they offer fresh perspectives on the wider media landscape and have deepened my understanding of channels I don’t typically work with.”
