ONE ORGANIZATION | THREE AWARDS
29 years recognizing and celebrating exceptional creativity.
The Summit Creative Award - Recognizes creative excellence in advertising and marketing companies and individuals with billings under $40 million. Includes all media and industries.
The Creative Award provides an opportunity for smaller companies and individuals to be recognized for their creative achievements, which is something that larger companies with higher billings would typically dominate. In this way, it awards creativity regardless of size and budget.
The Summit Marketing Effectiveness Award - An innovative competitive arena where the judging criteria are based on the true purpose of advertising and marketing communications; to influence consumers' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs.
This award recognizes the campaigns that have achieved the greatest results in influencing consumer behavior, creating awareness, and driving sales. It also rewards the creativity and effectiveness of the campaigns and their ability to reach the desired target audience.
