First American Equipment Finance and Monroe Community College were named Marketers of the Year last night at the annual AMA Rochester Pinnacle Awards Ceremony!
Thirty-two additional trophies in multiple categories also were awarded during the lively event at Comedy@ The Carlson Thursday night. The awards recognize marketing campaigns and tactics that deliver measurable results. And the competition gets fiercer each year. A record number of submissions – 97- were entered this year. The submissions were judged by the Columbus Ohio chapter of the American Marketing Association.
Attendees sipped cocktails and grazed on tasty locally-made hors d’oeuvres as they viewed the finalists’ entries on display and caught up with colleagues and industry friends. This year’s emcee was Sydney Bell, co-host of the popular Queen Speaking Podcast, who kept the program moving along. The inclusion of door prizes donated by many of Rochester’s favorite businesses added to the fun of the event.
Thank you to Pinnacle Award Program co-chairs Nikki Nisbet and Zach Cedruly, the amazing volunteer committee members and the AMA Board of Directors for another successful event! Let Zach and Nikki know if you would like to join the committee next year; they can always use more volunteers! Email nikki.nisbet@ama-rochester.org for details.
Special thank you to our Pinnacle sponsors!
Much appreciation goes out to our Rochester business partners who donated fabulous door prizes!
