Celebrating its fifteenth year the awards programme and categories are designed to attract entries from businesses of all sizes, operating in all sectors in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Winning a CIM Marketing Excellence Award means that you have created results that deliver real business benefits. It is important that we celebrate these achievements and to continuously flag the positive value of marketing to both businesses and society. It’s the marketers who are on the frontline of any business, bridging the gap between customers’ needs and company offerings that need to perform, gain competitive advantage and make profit.

Chairmans Address
“Marketing continues to undergo a revolution – a post-recession climate and a growing marketer’s tool box of new and evolving digital platforms, which in themselves are ever-changing, brings both challenges as well as opportunities to our profession.

CIM Chair Christine Watson.

With the 15th Annual CIM Ireland Marketing Excellence Awards I am pleased to invite best practice to take the centre stage. With new judges, new categories, newly crafted awards, and a new theme all marketers in Ireland aspire to see marketing positioned as it should be – as the most important added value activity an organisation – small or large, new or established can take across all industries and all sectors – private sector, public sector and social sector and with an even bigger and better CIM Awards in the beautiful Belfast City Hall.

All marketers want to see a better year, a greater spread of best practice and winners that are recognised for the hard work that goes into delivering success – marketing with impact that we can all learn from.

I look forward to seeing our local marketers dazzle at Belfast City Hall for the 15th Annual Ireland Marketing Excellence Awards on 6 November.”
