Next-Gen Innovators Award
Marketing isn’t just a skill; it’s a mindset. It’s about embracing change, pushing boundaries, and turning ideas into impactful realities. Some marketers embody this spirit exceptionally, fearlessly trying new strategies, speaking up for innovative approaches, and turning mistakes into valuable lessons. Best of all, they deliver remarkable customer experiences through their efforts.
The Next-Gen Innovators Award recognizes three individual marketers—each with a unique profile:
- The Dreamer: Next-gen Dreamers think big and love a good brainstorming session. They are visionaries with an eye on the future, always looking for growth opportunities for their teams and the business at large. They strive for innovation in strategy, changing the way we connect with customers.
- The Builder: Next-gen Builders develop the foundation upon which everything is possible. They solve problems at their onset to help mitigate future problems and empower those around them to succeed. They find new and innovative ways to solve problems and build experiences with data.
- The Maker: Next-gen Makers are creators and storytellers to their core. They collect insights and information from multiple sources and foster lasting relationships with their audiences. They bring innovation to life through creative campaign execution, delivering engaging experiences.
Whether you’re at the beginning of your marketing career or an industry veteran, we want to highlight the innovators who aren’t afraid to stray from “the way things have always been.”
