What do Gannett chief marketing and strategy officer Mayur Gupta, bestselling coauthors of The One to One Future Don Peppers and Martha Rogers, Triller chief growth officer Bonin Bough, and HeathPlanOne CMO Keira Krausz have in common? They’re all not only standouts in marketing, but each also has left an indelible mark on the industry. And they’re all previous DMCNY Silver Apple honorees.

They didn’t gain that notoriety by chance. A colleague or friend valued all that they’ve accomplished in their career and for the marketing industry so much they shone a spotlight on it—a light so bright that the impact of all they’ve achieved was crystal clear. 

Now it’s your turn. Show your admiration for an exceptional colleague by nominating them for a 2021 Silver Apple award. Tell us what set them apart and how they’ve helped advance or support the marketing. Did they spark a trend? Inspire countless undergrads to pursue a career in the industry? Advocate for the customer at every strategy meeting? Leave attendees inspired after rousing keynotes? Be the first in, and excel at, a brand new marketing role?

Give one remarkable colleague their time in the spotlight. You’ll be glad you did.
