2010 BMA-NJ Impact Awards
BMA-NJ's Impact Awards is New Jersey's leading awards program for business-to-business marketing. Now in its 15th year, the Impact Awards honor business-to-business marketers whose creative excellence and effective communications have a direct impact on a company's growth and profitability. The Impact Awards, founded in 1995, are open to companies based in New Jersey, New York or Philadelphia metro areas, Connecticut, and to firms that produce marketing communications for companies in this region.
There are 40 divisions to enter for printed, broadcast, multimedia, and web-based marketing communications as well as special events, identity programs, and trade show exhibits. BMA members receive a discount on entry fees. Entries are reviewed by a panel of judges drawn from agencies, corporate marketing departments, and the academic community.
Winners have ranged from small agencies to some of the world’s most renowned companies. B-to-B marketers from all over the region look to the Impact Awards to receive the acclaim they deserve for their marketing savvy and creative talent. Winners receive their awards at a dinner gala, held in September. The evening culminates in the presentation of the Harry Noble Award for Best in Show.
