"B2B marketers are used to constant change, but the scale and pace of change over the past year has shone an even brighter light on the importance of strategic focus, business alignment, creativity, and agility in optimizing marketing performance," said Dave Munn, President and CEO of ITSMA. "We've been incredibly impressed with the radical shifts that marketers made last year and the results they continued to drive amid the most challenging environment we've seen in decades. So, we're especially excited to launch this year's program as a way to help reward and showcase the ways marketers have risen to the challenge."
