Wichita Marketing Awards 2026

Building an effective brand engagement strategy attracts and retains customers, drives sales, awareness, and loyalty. Share a project that positioned your brand in consumers’ minds in a way that resulted in tangible success and a memorable brand identity.

“Going digital” no longer sets you apart. Share a project that creatively utilized innovative digital tools to reach and engage with your target (Analytics, Chatbots, Dynamic Content Personalization, AR/VR/Creative Media, etc.) . How did your use of these tools help you meet specific retention, conversion, or acquisition goals?

Experiences leave a meaningful and memorable impression with your target consumers. Share how you used an event or an experiential marketing strategy to turn an in-the-moment experience into a tangible touchpoint in your consumer’s journey with your brand.

Integrating television, radio, print, digital, and in-person strategies can distinguish your campaign from the competition. Share your most successful campaigns that effectively blend multiple channels while maintaining your brand’s core messaging.

Social media platforms have evolved into dynamic powerhouses for brands, offering unparalleled opportunities to engage and connect with audiences in meaningful ways. Share a project that pushed the boundaries of traditional marketing, and resulted in platform engagement, and measurable sales results using social media platforms as the catalyst.

This year, AMA is recognizing the wealth of agency talent that operate out of Wichita: from small teams of 2-5, to the big names that we all know. The Agency of the Year award will recognize the agency that took bold risks in 2025 which contributed to the achievement of their desired results. This is not a competition between agencies; it’s a challenge for each agency to measure its own progress. Share how you approached 2025 with a fresh perspective and the innovative strategies that set you apart.
