Creative Director, Wiktis has entered Chief Marketing Officer of the Year in Australia, in the Growth band. Every award is decided by public vote.
AUSTRALIA, Thursday 24 September 2026. Kevin Mack, Creative Director, Wiktis, has entered Chief Marketing Officer of the Year in Australia at The Executive Awards 2027, in the Growth band. The community vote runs from 1 October 2026, closes with entries by region, and names three to five finalists in each category, from votes confirmed one by one by email.
In their entry, Kevin wrote: “EXPYS-418 demo seed. Thirteen years in partnerships and event creative, now running the creative function at Wiktis. This statement is seeded so the Member Portal can be looked at with something in it.”
Kevin is Creative Director of Wiktis, an organisation of 6 people.
Finalists are announced four weeks before the night. The winner is named on stage at The Executive Awards night in Melbourne on June 2027, filmed and streamed, in the room or not. Every country winner goes forward to the Expys Global in Las Vegas in December 2027, where the Global Icon Award winners become EXPY Icons.
How the finalists are chosen
People who know the entrant’s work vote first, from a work email on a company domain, and no more than a quarter of an entrant’s counted votes can come from their own employer. One vote per person per category, each confirmed by email. The vote finds the finalists in each category, band and country, and the finalist with the most counted votes wins. Every vote is checked and the count is independently certified. The entry fee pays for the entrant’s page; it never buys a vote, a finalist place or the result, and sponsors never vote.
Every office runs at three sizes, so executives are up against organisations their own size: Growth (under 100 people), Mid-market (100 to 999 people) and Enterprise (1,000 people and over).
