2026 launch of the asi New Perspectives Award
asi has long recognized the importance of encouraging younger people in the media research industry to contribute to our conferences and to the wider discussions and decision-making within the audience measurement, research and insights space. This is even more critical as accelerating change across the industry calls for fresh thinking from emerging talent and for new voices to help shape the future.
To help address this, we are now pleased to announce a new annual asi award dedicated to younger contributors. Open to anyone aged 35 or younger, the asi New Perspectives Award offers the winner €1,500.00 and the opportunity to present at the asi International Conferences, which this year will be in Venice.
Sponsored by 
This inaugural New Perspectives Award is kindly sponsored by Pure X Media. The deadline for submissions is Monday 11th May 2026.
Just as our Tony Twyman Award acknowledges the contribution he made to the establishment of the asi community, this new award is our celebration of the contribution to the industry of Richard Marks, our Research Director for 10 years and a key figure in media research. His ability for presenting complex ideas in an accessible way, his skill as a moderator of many instructive panel sessions and his sharpness as an interviewer for our podcast series, have earned him widespread admiration and respect.
