NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Content Marketing Institute (CMI) just awarded the top three winners in the prestigious 2025 Content Marketing Awards. The Content Marketing Awards is the largest and longest-running international content marketing awards program. The Content Marketing Awards are presented each year by CMI, the leaders in content marketing, to recognize the best projects, agencies, and marketers around the world.

Here are the 2025 top Content Marketing Award winners:

- Agency of the Year: Message Lab
Message Lab's work for clients such as the Gates Foundation, SoftBank, Google, and Visa earned it Agency of the Year honors for consistently developing innovative platforms that create meaningful impact.

- Content Marketer of the Year: Stuart Butler, President, Visit Myrtle Beach
Stuart's work on the "Traveling the Spectrum" series, which showcases travel experiences for families with neurodiverse children, revolutionized destination marketing by leading with authentic human stories.

- Project of the Year: January Anti-Challenge by Maxwell & Dave’s Killer Bread
The brand-agency collaboration "January Anti-Challenge" claimed Project of the Year by deliberately rejecting traditional New Year's marketing tactics in favor of content that made people "feel seen, not sold to."

“We are excited to award some of the best innovation and creativity the content marketing industry has to offer,” shared Stephanie Stahl, managing director of the Content Marketing Institute. “We're thrilled to recognize this year's class of top performers for the exceptional skill, creativity, and strategic thinking they exhibited with their best-in-class content programs.
