The Launch of the Marketing Book Awards 2025

Introduction

The anticipation is growing in the marketing community as Shoeisha Co., Ltd. announces the inaugural Marketing Book Awards 2025. This unique event encourages marketing professionals to select and vote for the business books they believe are essential reads for fellow practitioners. Set to kick off on June 24, 2025, this awards ceremony promises to create a platform for sharing valuable insights and recommendations.

Voting Process

From June 24 to July 24, 2025, marketing professionals will have the opportunity to cast their votes on the official website designed for the awards. It’s a chance to reflect on the books that have influenced their work over the past year, regardless of the publisher or publication year. This flexibility allows a wide range of books to be nominated, making it possible for hidden gems to shine alongside popular titles.

Shoeisha has stated that there are no restrictions regarding the publisher or age of the books, making the scope of eligible entries extensive. However, materials designed primarily for personal business use, such as information products, will not be considered.

Selection and Awards

The voting reveals the preferences of marketing practitioners, and among those, the book with the most votes will be awarded the Grand Prize. Following that, several runners-up will receive the Semi-Grand Prize based on their vote counts. This method highlights the collective insights of professionals actively engaging in the marketing field, allowing fresh perspectives and influential works to be celebrated.

To assist voters, the official website will list top-selling books and recommendations from twelve active marketing professionals, along with suggestions from sponsoring media and industry associations. This wealth of information aims to facilitate informed voting and encourage participation across the board.
