SINGAPORE – The Association of Advertising and Marketing Singapore (AAMS) announces the opening of nominations for the Hall of Fame Awards 2025. The nomination period will run from 13 October to 30 November 2025.
As the pinnacle of recognition in Singapore’s marketing and advertising community, the Hall of Fame Awards celebrates success and legacy. The theme, “Legends Who Light the Way”, pays tribute to trailblazers whose brilliance inspires and illuminates the path for other across the industry.
This year, the Hall of Fame Awards welcomes three distinguished industry leaders, Patrick Low, Founder of Goodfellas, as Chairperson, alongside Co-Chairpersons Jeslyn Tan, CEO of Ideation Studio, and Jian Yang, Managing Partner at Distilleri. Together, they bring decades of leadership across media, marketing, and brand strategy to the awards.
“The Hall of Fame Awards stand as the ultimate recognition of an individual’s achievements and lasting contributions to the advertising, media, and marketing industry. They represent the highest honor, awarded by peers to celebrate a career of influence, leadership and excellence,” said Patrick.
Jeslyn added, “I am inspired by the extraordinary talent and unwavering dedication within our community. The Hall of Fame Awards not only celebrate individual brilliance but also reflect the collective progress of the advertising, media, and marketing industry in terms of innovation, collaboration, and bold thinking.”
Jian emphasized, “The awards show honors the best of the best in our industry, and serves as a beacon to inspire individuals in the communications ecosystem to strive toward. Many award shows recognize work, but we also need to remember that we are primarily a people business, so let’s acknowledge the great people who made the great work happen.”
The 2025 edition introduces six new categories, providing comprehensive recognition across different dimensions of excellence and influence:
- Lifetime Achievement
- Creative Leader
- Agency Leader
- Marketing Leader
- Marketing Innovator
- Creative Economy Catalyst
The Hall of Fame Awards recognize professionals whose influence extends beyond individual achievement to mentorship, innovation, and industry advancement. The 2024 inductees included Advertising Visionary Tay Guan Hin, Media Mogul (Agency) Zachary Lim, Media Mogul (Platform) Dasheng Toh, Marketing Mastermind Alvin Neo, and Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Patrick – leaders whose contributions have defined Singapore’s advertising and marketing landscape.
Inductees to the Hall of Fame Awards 2025 will be celebrated on January 14, 2026 during the Singapore AdMarCom Festival 2026, alongside the Singapore Media Marketing Awards (SMMA) ceremony. The festival continues with the Creative Circle Awards (GONG) and Crowbar Awards on January 30 2026.
