HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The American Marketing Association Houston Chapter announced today it is accepting entries for its 25th Annual Crystal Awards program. The awards program will take place the evening of May 26 at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Houston where over 80 category winners will be recognized for outstanding marketing with measurable results.
Last year's sold-out event broke attendance records with well over 500 marketing professionals including the who’s who of Houston companies such as Shell Lubricants, Texas Children’s Hospital, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Hewlett-Packard, Coca Cola North America, the Houston Texans, Schlumberger, BP and Chevron Phillips. Those who couldn’t get a seat were able to watch the event via streaming video.
“Since our inaugural Crystal Awards event 25 years ago, we’ve been recognizing the best in marketing. And to be honored as the best, you have to show the results achieved from the marketing pieces or campaigns you produced. Our members say it makes winning a Crystal Award very prestigious,” says MaryJane Mudd, AMA Houston president.
This year, Brookwoods Group is once again the presenting sponsor for the event. This marks the fourth consecutive year the company has taken this spot. Platinum sponsors to date include Alliance, CenterPoint Energy and ContentActive. Major event partners include Bullpen Marketing, Frank White Photography, Lone Star Exhibits, Let It Fly Events, and Catch the Moment.
