About The Marketer Of The Year Awards Gala

The BCAMA’s annual Marketer of the Year (MOY) awards gala is one of the most anticipated industry events in British Columbia. What makes this flagship event so appealing and unique as compared to other awards shows is that it is comprised of two distinct elements:

1. Marketer of the Year

A formalized recognition of one well-deserving organization that is honoured for its results-oriented, marketing prowess—through strategic planning and creative executions.

 

2. Marketing Excellence Awards

A collection of individual awards celebrating marketing excellence in each of six different categories. The winner of each award is announced as part of the gala event.

 

While the Marketer of the Year awards gala does not take place until later, at this time we are accepting submissions for the various Marketing Excellence Awards categories. 

 

Congratulations Destination BC!
