You created, you innovated, you wrote, re-wrote (and maybe even re-re-wrote). You tested. And it worked (cue the confetti)! But before you move on to the next big campaign, don’t miss the chance to showcase your success. The MAXI Awards are back, and this year, they’re better than ever!
The MAXI Awards – Marketing Awards for eXcellence and Innovation – recognize outstanding achievements in direct response marketing. They’re your opportunity to celebrate your biggest wins, see how your campaigns stack up against the competition, and gain inspiration from some of the best work in the industry.
Three New Creative Awards!
While traditional MAXI Awards emphasize results, these new categories celebrate fearless creativity, bold ideas, and groundbreaking execution – with results still playing a role. It’s your chance to showcase work that pushes boundaries and redefines what’s possible in direct response marketing!
Alongside the Gold, Silver, and Bronze MAXIs, we’re introducing:
Stamp of Excellence Award – Honoring standout direct mail creative.
Digital Dynamo Award – Recognizing innovation in digital creative.
Omni-WOW Award – Celebrating bold multichannel campaigns.
And here’s the twist – YOU get a say! Judges will select finalists, but in-person voting at the awards ceremony on October 2 will determine the winners.
Excellence Deserves Recognition
You’ve put in the hard work – crafting compelling messaging, fine-tuning strategy, and testing to ensure the best results. Now it’s time to take a step back and give your efforts the recognition they deserve.
Showcase Your Success – Winning puts your work in the spotlight and cements your status as a leader.
Boost Your Credibility – A MAXI win proves your strategies drive results—whether for clients, donors, or leadership.
Celebrate Your Team – Give your team the recognition they deserve and fuel future creativity.
More Ways to Win – With new categories, there are even more chances to take home a MAXI.
