[ American Advertising Federation Montgomery ]
We are honoring our industry’s sales and service side with the Advertising & Marketing Industry Recognizing Excellence.
Each year, we recognize creative excellence with the ADDY Awards. But creative work isn’t possible without a lot of amazing people. To help celebrate our 65th year of protecting and promoting the well-being of advertising, we will also recognize the crucial—and too often unsung—sales and service side of the industry with our new AdMIRE (Advertising & Marketing Industry Recognizing Excellence) Awards. These awards recognize the best of the best in the agency, media, and corporate marketing arena. We’re excited for a new chance to recognize the efforts of our local industry for all they do, and from a different point of view. The honorees will be chosen by a panel of judges located outside of Alabama.
