Distinguished Awards
Presented to three agencies; one independent agency with fewer than 100 employees, one with 100+ employees, and one branded studio within a media company.
These agencies have distinguished themselves by creating content marketing that serves as a showcase for the entire industry. The Agency of the Year recognition by the Content Marketing Institute is, perhaps, the greatest award honor a content marketing agency can achieve. The judges look at the agency’s projects and performance over the past year, as well as the innovation behind consistent multi-platform publishing.
To qualify for Agency of the Year, you must submit at least one project submission and complete the agency of the year entry form. There is a $299 fee to nominate your agency (late entry fee of $399 for nominations submitted after 5/19/24).
The Content Marketer of the Year is a special recognition from the Content Marketing Institute. Each year, CMI looks at the great work brand marketers are doing in content marketing. We then compile a shortlist of the “best of the best” and choose one B2B and one B2C marketer who stood above the rest during those 12 months. If you’d like to nominate yourself or a colleague for this honor, you’ll have an opportunity on your entry form.
All entries are eligible for the Content Marketing Project of the Year; the overall best project from thousands of submissions. The Content Marketing Project of the Year award is like winning the Oscar for Best Picture: it simply cannot get any better. The Content Marketing Awards’ judges look at the finalists in every one of the 60 categories to decide which projects were the “best of the best” in B2B and B2C content marketing.
Tell us about the best content-driven campaign that helped you accomplish your specific B2B marketing objective. Whether written, visual, or audio, this could be one piece of content or multiple pieces of content around a particular idea, and the brand (or brand’s products and services) are part of the content itself. We want to hear about your success!
