The premier competition honouring Ireland’s top marketers, Marketer of the Year (MotY), returns after a two-year break due to the pandemic with brand communications agency Dynamo as sponsor. Launched by Marketing.ie in 1993, MotY salutes Ireland’s top marketers, who through their passion and commitment create winning strategies for their brands.
In all, 27 leading Irish marketers have been honoured in achieving brand success through strategic direction, innovation and creative and effective communications. They had a track record in driving brand and business growth and showed strong leadership. They also helped promote marketing’s reputation as a strategic discipline, both in-house and beyond.
