AMA Marketer of the Year

AMA Tampa Bay is pleased to be hosting the 2nd annual results-based AMA Marketer of the Year awards. The award is presented to a marketer or marketing/advertising agency for a specific successful campaign with measureable and documented results. It's not about glitzy creatives, unless they drove results.

(Please note: the award is NOT based on overall company/agency results for an entire year - it is campaign specific)

The following work is eligible for submission:

1. Any marketing work that was created during 2016 by a marketer based in the Tampa Bay area.
2. Any marketing work that was created during 2016 by a marketing/advertising agency in the Tampa Bay area.

If you have any questions, contact Anne Arthur at a_e_arthur@hotmail.com or 813-802-7396.

To ensure unbiased and fair results, judging will be conducted by the board of directors of another chapter of the American Marketing Association.

APPLICATION DEADLINE IS JANUARY 18, 2017 at 11:59 p.m.

AMA Members: $50/entry

Non-AMA Members: $100/entry

Unless the work was done 100% by the organization's internal marketing team, the partnering marketing/creative agency on the project must be identified.

If you are the agency submitting on behalf of your client, enter your agency name. Agencies can submit entries on behalf of their clients and will be recognized by the emcee and in the program. However, the client company's name will be engraved on the award presented at the Marketer of the Year award event.

If you are a Tampa Bay marketer, enter the name of your agency partner; or enter NA if the work was done 100% by your internal marketing team.

*Note: Category winners must receive a threshold average score of 70 points or higher to win a category. To win in a category where there are less than 4 different entries, an entry must have an equal or higher judged score than at least 2 other category winners.

*Note: The same campaign can be submitted in multiple categories but each entry requires a separate application fee. Entering multiple categories will increase your chances of winning, however you are more likely to have favorable scores if the campaign is customized based on the category.

Even if delivering to the physical address, your entry information must be provided in a format that can be shared digitally with judges (zip drive, CD/DVD, etc.).
