Our annual Advertising and Promotion Awards recognize the best design and execution of branded content developed by the beverage alcohol industry.
Editorial staff of Beverage Dynamics, StateWays and Cheers magazines judged numerous entrees, and picked out the most-impressive campaigns. Winners in 2017 included spirits, wine and beer brands that created marketing campaigns — physical, digital and video — that reached consumers this past year.
If you’re a marketer or advertising agency in the beverage alcohol industry, and you do not see your brand(s) represented, keep an eye out for March/April 2018 issue of Beverage Dynamics for info on how to enter next year’s competition. To all those who did take part in 2017, we salute your creativity and thank your continued participation.
