[ American Advertising Federation Montgomery ]
We are excited to announce the honorees of our inaugural Advertising & Marketing Industry Recognizing Excellence.
To help celebrate our 65th year of protecting and promoting the well-being of advertising, we are recognizing the crucial—and too often unsung—sales and service side of the industry with our inaugural 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 were chosen by a panel of judges in the advertising field located outside of Alabama.
