Nixa Public Schools’ Post

Today, I attended American Marketing Association of Indiana University of Pennsylvania annual panel. Seven industry professionals shared valuable knowledge and advice, including those from PPG Paints, Steelers, UPMC, American Eagle and business owners. Thank you to all the marketing panelists who took the time to visit. Also, thank you to Kira Wertz for organizing this amazing event. I’m extremely grateful to hear from these professionals. Reflecting on all the insights today, here are some key takeaways: -Saying yes to opportunities opens doors to new experiences, learning and personal growth. -Embrace continuous learning and be a sponge to information. -Being told no can be discouraging. However, you can turn a “no” or rejection into a stepping stone toward success and personal development. -Marketing is constantly evolving; embrace change and be adaptable.

Feeling excited to be sat amongst the PR Jury for The Drum Awards 2024. Not my first time in this position, so it got me thinking about what I typically look for in an award-winning entry. I'd say I split it up into 4 parts:  1️⃣ Creative difference. Is what I'm seeing something new and clever? 2️⃣ Having an integrated approach. Does the entry include a strategy or activation that goes beyond traditional PR or comms? 3️⃣ A clear link to the business imperative. Does the activity ladder up into the company's broader business goals? 4️⃣ Great results. How did it perform? What was the impact? Measurement is key. Looking forward to seeing the entries - good luck to all!

"I had the privilege of undergoing comprehensive media training with one of the No 01 media agency , where I gained invaluable insights into the intricate world of media buying, planning, and implementation. The training equipped me with a deep understanding of media strategies, market analysis, and effective campaign execution. Additionally, I learned to navigate various media channels and optimize resources for maximum impact. This experience not only broadened my knowledge but also honed my skills in strategic media management, making me a more proficient professional in the field."

Why bother with Awards? Are you a marketer? Part of an advertising agency, comms or media agency? Thinking about whether it's worth putting the entry forms together. Sometimes the busyness of life means that entering awards gets deprioritised. But there are some really important reasons why it's worth making this happen - apart from the fact it feels utterly amazing to be a winner. Taking to past winners of the The Marketing Society Awards (both brand and agency side) here's what they said about why it worked brilliantly for them: ✅'𝗜𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.' Running a brand? Entering awards helps you articulate 'the story' in a way which helps you internally (and personally, for the individuals involved). Don’t underestimate the power of this. ✅' It meant we were top of mind when pitches were being considered.' Our Awards are judged by successful senior marketers and shared amongst a huge community of marketing changemakers. Raising your organisation's fame through entering these awards is smart, simple and effective. ✅' 𝗜𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱.'  Whether you are entering this agency-side or brand-side, awards help not just give kudos but also celebrate the hard work and talent that leads to success. ✅'𝗜𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.' By sharing the success stories and the examples of great marketing excellence, we can help inspire others - and help us feel proud of what marketing leadership can achieve. I think this is critical if you care about marketing as a profession; the insights from awards help power more success. ➡️READ 'The Marketing Transformation Report' in partnership with Accenture Song https://lnkd.in/eAeZwj-5 💫SAVE THE DATE💫 - The Marketing Society 39th Annual Awards Ceremony, London: Thursday 4th.
