Submit Your Nomination

Campaigns that moved the room.

The Top Ten honors the marketing leaders who shipped work in the last twelve months that was undeniably original, measurably effective, and impossible to ignore. Selections are made by a private panel of CMOs from The Digital Fork community.

01

Originality

A creative idea or strategic insight that didn't exist in your category before you brought it to market.

02

Impact

Measurable business results — revenue, share, brand lift, cultural reach. Numbers that survive scrutiny.

03

Craft

Execution at the highest level. The kind of work that other marketers screenshot and study.

04

Courage

Something at stake. Work that required conviction to greenlight and a real defense to ship.
