BACKSTAGE AT MCNY:
A LEGENDARY NIGHT OF
MILESTONES AND MARKETING'S BEST

Imagine an evening where the legends of marketing—our distinguished honorees—take center stage as the stars of the show, and past honorees are the chart-topping classic acts that have defined the industry. That’s the Marketing Club of New York’s annual Silver Apples Awards & Gala.

Since 1985, more than 300 individuals and organizations have been named a Silver Apple Awards honoree – for their marketing industry achievement, leadership and example for giving back to our field and community. 

In 2024, at our 40th Annual Silver Apples gala, we honored 11 such professionals, and raised thousands of dollars from marketing scholarships to students at New York-area universities interested in careers in marketing. 

In spring 2025, we will open our Call for Nominees on this page. Help us identify an exemplary marketing industry nominee – and join us on November 13, 2025, for our 2025 Silver Apples Award Gala at the Hard Rock Café in Times Square.

It will be another unforgettable night – with New York’s top marketing innovators and practitioners.

It's time to nominate our marketing legends and stars for this year's 41st celebration!

Our Silver Apples Awards Gala is set for the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square for Thursday, November 13, 2025. We need YOU to help us select the honorees through your nominations.
