Celebrating the wins, the fails, and everything in between. Got a favorite campaign? Let us know! As 2024 winds down, it’s time to look back at the moments that made us laugh, gasp, and rethink our strategies. Welcome to the 2024 Marketing Awards — a celebration of the campaigns that defined the year (for better or worse).
And the best part? You’re on the jury. Yep, we need your sharp marketing brain to help crown the winners in these unforgettable categories:
🏅 Best Surprise Hit
When the little guy becomes a giant.
Remember the LinkedIn post by Greg Isenberg (the one about the “People are Searching for Friends”)?
It was so simple, yet it sparked thousands of shares, comments, and reposts — proving that authenticity beats algorithms.
Or how about Duolingo’s TikTok comment spree that unexpectedly turned a language-learning app into a meme lord? It wasn’t planned. It wasn’t polished. But it was pure genius.
Who do you think deserves this award?
😂 Biggest Flop That Still Made Us Laugh
When cringe turns into content gold.
Oh, we can’t forget that AI-generated pizza ad from ‘Pizza Infinite’ that went viral — not because it was good, but because it was hilariously bad. (“Would you like your pizza with extra clapping?” 🤔).
Surprise! 🎉 Pizza Infinite isn’t a real brand. We made it up for fun to join the awards! Who knows, maybe one day we’ll create a pizza that actually claps back.” 🍕
Then there was the ‘revolutionary’ rebrand by X (formerly Twitter) that left everyone confused but somehow dominated headlines for weeks. A flop? Absolutely. Memorable? You bet.
Which marketing mishap had you giggling this year?
🌟 Brand MVP
The brand that made us pause, click, and say, “Wow.”
Love them or hate them, Barbie owned 2024. From viral TikToks to pink EVERYTHING, their marketing blitz was impossible to ignore. (Raise your hand if you secretly bought Barbiecore merch. 🙋♂️)
And then there’s Apple — because when aren’t they winning? The Vision Pro launch? Not even our bank accounts could look away.
Which brand stopped you mid-scroll this year?
