European Marketer of the Year

Most European countries recognise their National Marketing Champion each year. The EMC aims to equally promote and recognise the most outstanding marketer in one of these marketing and business champions in the same way, through a formal and transparent competition to identify the European Marketer of the Year. 

Recognition

The European Marketing Confederation strongly believes in recognition within the marketing community of those who have demonstrated exceptional strategic management skills, achieved results, and built sustainable businesses across the region and globally.  Our desire is to present the very best in marketing professionalism in Europe to inspire the next generation of business and marketing graduates on their career paths.

Process
