The San Diego chapter of the American Marketing Association (SDAMA) celebrates the city’s top marketing professionals and students at the 2008 American Marketer of the Year (AMY) Awards on Thursday, May 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the San Diego W Hotel.
AMY Award nominations were accepted until May 9 for excellence in the following marketing and communication areas: Integrated Marketing, Cause Marketing, Advertising (Print, Television, Radio and Web), Special Event, Green (environment-focused marketing), Web Site Design, Electronic Presentations, and Direct Marketing and/or Direct Mail. There is also People’s Choice Award, an award for students, and a category for miscellaneous work such as newsletters and promotional materials.
All AMY Award categories are evaluated on criteria such as content, overall quality, style, innovation, and effectiveness. Experienced marketing and communications professionals from the South Florida chapter of the AMA make up the panel of judges, and San Diego’s own Lee Ann Kim, the Channel 10 News anchor, will present the awards to the winners.
AMY Award tickets are $45 per person for AMA members and $55 per person for non-members, and include a gift bag and two drink tickets. To learn more about SDAMA and to purchase tickets for the event ceremony, email info-sandiego@marketingpower.com, visit www.sdama.org or call 619.402.7825.


I would be interested to find out all of the nominations and if any one in real estate won any awards in web, or print advertising. We all know that Real Estate seems to be growing a larger and larger presence on the web and print advertising may not be as big with the Internet but you still see a lot of print advertising for real estate companies.
