In late May, six marketing and communications leaders from Arkansas, Louisiana, Manitoba, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin gathered at ACCE’s office in Alexandria, Va. to carefully review more than 100 Communications Excellence award submissions.
These entries highlight some of the freshest and most innovative marketing and communications work coming from ACCE member organizations of all types and sizes.
Each submission was organized by type — advertising and marketing, campaigns, digital and publications — and by the submitting organization’s total annual budget range: under $1 million, $1–3 million and above $3 million.
Winners were celebrated at ACCE’s annual Awards Show, hosted at Music City Center in downtown Nashville in mid-July.
Learn more about ACCE’s Communications Excellence awards, and view the award-winning work, at www.ACCE.org/awards/ACE. ACCE will begin accepting Communications Excellence award entries early 2018.
