The American Marketing Association Baltimore Chapter held its 32nd Annual Marketing Excellence Awards in Baltimore April 6, recognizing organizations that demonstrate outstanding creativity, implementation and results in their marketing campaigns. Awards were presented for outstanding overall campaigns as well as the best campaigns in specific channels or industries.

This year’s overall winner, Maryland Auto Insurance, embarked on a comprehensive rebranding and public awareness campaign incorporating both print and digital assets, resulting in an 8 percent increase in customers.

The 1st runner-up, Carroll Hospice, created a compelling awareness and education campaign with the help of its agency, Devaney & Associates, that resulted in a 7 percent increase in admissions and double-digit growth in online consumer engagement.

Euler Hermes, the 2nd runner-up, exceeded their annual lead generation and conversion goals through a multi-channel campaign promoting their trade credit insurance product to targeted B2B prospects.

In addition to the awards ceremony held at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor, seven local full-time students who are pursuing studies in marketing or a related field received AMA Undergraduate Marketing Education Scholarships.
