Our Top Marketers is a yearly celebration of marketing that goes beyond acronyms.
It’s about shining a light on the individuals who are marketers, yes, but they have got a little edge too: they show up with heart, intention and the intent to make the industry better bringing boat load of inspiration to all of us.
We do not do what we do for the accolades, BUT it is important every once in a while to remind yourself that you are a f*cking incredible human.
Takes lots of heart to show up and do it for the right reasons.
