Chief Marketer
we've got a lot to talk about
December 5, 2021

Attention, marketers: Need an agency? Because I’ve got 200 of them for you.

It’s that time of year again, folks. Chief Marketer has unveiled its annual collection of the best brand engagement and activation marketing agencies across 11 categories and specialties serving the U.S.: the CM 200. Those who made this carefully vetted list are thought leaders in their craft and representative of the best of the marketing industry. And the fact that they’ve remained resilient through unprecedented challenges—for nearly two years, now—makes them all the more impressive.

In fact, we've found that the work they produced during the pandemic is some of the most crafty and creative yet. As the world has evolved, so too have the criteria for marketing programs. The work that’s successful today is more inclusive, sustainable, diverse and equitable than ever before. Standards have skyrocketed; and the industry is far better for it.

As CM’s Group Editor & Publisher Jessica Heasley rightly notes, “We hope that brand marketers will consider the partners on this list for their 2022 programs. They have all demonstrated incredible creativity and resilience and are poised to transform challenges into opportunities in the year ahead.”

But wait, there’s more… We’ve also announced the finalists of our inaugural Top Women in Marketing Awards, judged by the editors of Chief Marketer, Event Marketer and AdExchanger. Not unlike the CM 200, the excellence showcased by this roster of women over the last 12 months was as inspiring as it was impactful. Join us Dec. 8 as we toast to the winners and close out the year with a special celebration at Women in Events Week.

See you there.
