Marketing excellence: How to capture a Markie | #MME16
The Markies, awards that honor excellence in marketing and are issued by Oracle, started modestly in 2007. The awards featured six categories back then. Today, the Markies are quite the production, honoring excellence in 19 categories. This year, the awards added a People’s Choice Award: Best Video Submission after receiving more than 60 videos. The Markies are a coveted award in the marketing industry.
Adrian Chang, director of customer programs at Oracle Marketing Cloud, said his team received over 350 submissions from more than 2,500 people. During an interview with John Furrier (@furrier) and Peter Burris (@plburris), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, Chang spoke about the excitement surrounding the awards for attendees of Oracle Cloud World: Modern Marketing Experience 2016. The Markies were announced on April 26 live at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
And the winner is …
The Oracle award committee evaluates submissions based on a complex and encompassing set of criteria. Key factors include personalization, customer engagement, customer retention and “creating the journey” for clients and customers alike. The vast majority of submissions came from marketers, as well as a few from IT professionals. Chang noted a significant rise in submissions from senior-level managers, program directors and executives.
