Best of Welsh marketers honoured at Canmol awards
Canmol 2009 has been launched and will build on the success of the inugural event in 2008. This year's event will be held in the Park Plaza Hotel, Cardiff on Thursday 15 October 2009. The University of Wales, Newport is the headline sponsor. Rod Woodward, last year's hugely successful after-dinner speaker, personally recommended this year's speaker, Ian Irving (www.topcomic.co.uk). Musical entertainment will be provided by One Night Stand (www.onenightstandduo.com).
Last year’s winners included Visit Wales, Amlwch Leisure Centre (Anglesey), Torfaen Borough Council, Corus Colors (Flintshire) and Control Techniques (Powys.) Canmol was created by The Chartered Institute of Marketing to celebrate and promote excellence in the marketing industry in Wales and to recognise the crème de la crème of marketing practitioners.
This year's winners receive a trophy, certificate and a day’s free consultancy provided by staff of Newport Business School. Fifteen marketing experts will judge the entries under the Chairmanship of Jonathan Deacon, Newport Business School and Chair of the Wales Board of The Institute. With no categories or boundries, the judges are looking for innovative marketers demonstrating integrated campaigns and brilliant results.
Jonathan Deacon said: “We were extremely impressed with the standard of entries for the first ever Canmol awards. There was a real buzz around the awards and an immense sense of pride from the 15 shortlisted companies who were deservedly proud of their achievements. But, five companies and organisations stood out in particular for their fantastic and up-to-date use of marketing.”
Richard Houdmont, Director for Wales of The Chartered Institute of Marketing, commented: “We created the Canmol Awards to recognise and praise the marketing professionals who have worked hard to achieve excellent results. We are delighted that the first year of Canmol was such a success. The winners demonstrated integrated marketing skills and innovative ways of keeping up with their competitiors, and have certainly set a benchmark for next year’s awards. We hope that these awards will help raise the professional standards in marketing throughout Wales.”
The University of Wales, Newport is the headline sponsor of Canmol 2009. Other sponsors include The Welsh Language Board, Stills Design and Real Radio with support from Brazil Public Relations.
