Sema Tezel-Basbug shortlisted for two WIPEA awards!
Sema Tezel-Basbug named as a finalist in the Packaging Marketing & Brand Impact Award and the Packaging Leadership Award – Agency, Consultancy & Independent category at the Women in Packaging Excellence Awards 2026
We are delighted that Sema Tezel-Basbug, Head of Marketing for the Easyfairs UK Packaging Portfolio, has been shortlisted for two awards at this year’s Women in Packaging Excellence Awards!
The Women in Packaging Excellence Awards are an annual celebration of the outstanding contribution, leadership, and innovation of women and their allies across the entire packaging value chain. Organised by long-standing media partner Packaging News, these awards are driving equality and promoting diversity in the packaging industry.
For this year’s competition, Sema has been named as a finalist in the Packaging Marketing & Brand Impact Award and the Packaging Leadership Award – Agency, Consultancy & Independent category.
As Sema approaches the end of her first year with Easyfairs, and in the packaging industry overall, this is a tremendous achievement and testament to the work she has done and her impact not just on the Easyfairs team but the wider industry.
Sema said: “I’m incredibly honoured to be a finalist for both the Packaging Leadership and Marketing
& Brand Impact awards. In less than a year in the industry, I’ve learned so much from an
inspiring community and felt genuinely welcomed by the industry, which speaks to its openness to newcomers.
This recognition reflects true teamwork, and I’m proud to lead such a talented team shaping our brand for the upcoming editions – London Packaging Week (16–17 September, Excel London) and Packaging Innovations & Empack (24–25 February, NEC Birmingham).”
