Announcing the winners from The ClickZ Marketing Technology Awards 2019! Huge congratulations to each company, campaign, and person on this list for their excellence and achievements.
Winners were voted on jointly by the industry and by a panel of eight expert judges.
The awards dinner took place on the evening of Thursday, March 21, at the beautiful Tribeca Rooftop in New York.
Our host for the night: Scott Brinker
Scott Brinker began the night with a brief, entertaining presentation about marketing technology and its evolution over the years.
ICYMI, Scott is the one who designs those massive and dizzying martech landscapes.
What might happen with the future of the industry?
Who’s to say, of course. But if it keeps up its current breakneck speed, we might just have…
Or least a good number. Last year’s count was >7000, after all.
Part of the reason behind these awards, then, was to help cut through that landscape a bit.
Out of more than 500 entries submitted, these were the top picks voted on by the industry.
To all the winners and finalists, huge congratulations! It’s an honor to help recognize your hard work, innovation, and excellence.
