Excellence Awards

The industry’s leading awards for high-performance marketing


For 27 years, Momentum ITSMA’s Marketing Excellence Awards (MEAs) have honored high-performing B2B marketing programs.

The Marketing Excellence Awards celebrate ambitious sales and marketing leaders that drive business success and gain greater market share.

The annual awards, judged by subject matter experts and industry leaders, offer a platform for forward-thinking sales and marketing teams and individuals to showcase their best-in-class programs across 10 categories.

For 2024, in addition to our traditional awards, we’re introducing three new superlative categories – GTM Leader, ABM-er, and Client Growth Program of the Year.

  • Advancing Thought Leadership
  • Driving Partner Collaboration
  • Enabling Sales
  • Innovating Client Programs
  • Scaling ABM Programs
  • Strengthening Executive Engagement
  • Utilizing Client Insights for Growth
  • Client Growth Program of the Year
  • GTM Leader of the Year
  • Account-Based Marketer of the Year

We will reveal the winners at our annual Marketing Excellence Awards Ceremony in the fall.

In addition to the two winners in each traditional category, Momentum ITSMA will award two winners from small and medium-sized businesses. These awards will go to the strongest submissions from two companies with less than $500 million in annual revenue, regardless of category.
