Which of These 15 Awards Does Your Marketing Team Deserve to Win?

To say that the past few years have been difficult for both organisations and individuals would be an understatement, with many leaders having to pivot, twist and turn more than ever before. What’s more important than ever during these times, though, is to recognise your team’s hard work and validate the success of your efforts.

In 2022, our Engage B2B Awards sought to recognise the organisations which have worked hard to overcome the challenges brought about by recent times. Following the success of the 2022 Awards, we have introduced even more categories this year, allowing more companies to reflect on their achievements and celebrate their teams.

“After a hugely successful launch year, we are so excited to see what 2023 brings for the Engage B2B Awards. Sales and marketing engagement is fundamental to remaining competitive as a B2B organisation and we can’t wait to hear what fantastic initiatives that our community have been implementing in order to rise to the top,” commented Nicholas Rust, Managing Director at Engage Business Media.
