The winners will be announced at a ceremony on Tuesday November 22nd at the Roundhouse in London.
In the UK and internationally, 2016 has seen a boom in content marketing strategy budgets including investment in video, social and data which has been reflected in the entries of this years’ CMA Awards, says the CMA. Shortlists of up to 10 nominated businesses per category will fight for Gold, Silver and Bronze awards.
Clare Hill, Managing Director at the Content Marketing Association, said: "I am incredibly proud and pleased at the pace of growth of our awards. They are a true marker of the very best worldwide in content marketing by agencies for brands. The winners will achieve international recognition as best-in-class in this most exciting of the marketing disciplines. The growth continues to reflect the pace of change in marketing spend as brands increasingly look to content marketing solutions to achieve their objectives."
