Award Entries Soar 28 Percent Year-Over-Year

NEW YORK, USA, September 24, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The National Association for Multi-ethnicity in Communications (NAMIC) today announced the winners of its Excellence in Multicultural Marketing Awards (EMMA). The competition recognizes excellence in marketing efforts designed to attract and retain culturally diverse audiences and customers among African American, Asian, Latinx, LGBTQ, disabilities communities and other market segments. This year’s EMMA winners will be celebrated during the 32nd Annual NAMIC Conference “Empower Leaders, Create Super Heroes” on October 16-17, 2018 at the New York Marriott Marquis.

“As communication leaders, it is important to be forward-thinking when connecting with multi-ethnic consumers,” said Shana Bellot, client service director for StrawberryFrog, EMMA judge and NAMIC Multicultural Marketing Committee member. “NAMIC’s EMMAs recognize those in the industry who develop marketing practices acknowledging the changing demographics driving our nation today. This year’s winning campaigns underscore how targeted, diverse communication results in genuine consumer connections.”

Recognizing the media and entertainment industry’s commitment to implementing best practices, the Excellence in Multicultural Marketing Awards highlight creative, strategic and innovative multicultural marketing approaches. The NAMIC Multicultural Marketing Committee, a consortium of industry experts, provides guidance for the EMMA competition, which has two award categories: Integrated Marketing Campaigns and Marketing Tactics. Entries in each category were judged within four divisions: Media Content Creators and Distributors, Networks and Communications Suppliers, Brands and All Other Media.

A judging panel of independent industry experts evaluated entries, which were up 28% YOY, and selected winners based on an assessment of strategy, implementation and results. Deviating from the traditional “best of” competition method, each entry was judged against a standard of excellence and not against other entrants, resulting in the potential for zero to multiple winners in each category.

The EMMAs is presented in partnership with Cablefax and the winners will be featured in the October 2018 edition of Cablefax: The Magazine. A complete listing of winners follows:
