Author: CIM Travel Group

There were 37 award winners at the 11th Travel Marketing Awards last night.  Organised by CIM Travel Group in association with the Chartered Institute of Marketing, the esteemed Awards Ceremony took place at the London Hilton on Park Lane which saw 15 of the Awards receive a prestigious Gold Standard.

Winners of the campaign awards included Le Boat, Great Western Railway, TUI, Hostelworld, among others. There were also two new award categories this year, as Princess Cruises took home an Awards cube for Best Docusoap and TUI won Brand Relaunch.

President of the CIM Travel Group, Richard Carrick said: “Our industry has the strongest brands, highest quality products and best qualified marketers – and this year’s Travel Marketing Awards fully reflect this.”

CIM’s Chief Executive, Chris Daly added: Professional marketing is a vital driver of business advantage across the travel sector – boosting commercial outcomes and growing talent. The role of the professional marketer is becoming more demanding, competitive and varied as it expands to encompass data analysis, commercial awareness, business development and customer experience. One thing is for certain, and that is that marketing has definitely stepped up to this challenge. The competition for this year’s Travel Marketing awards was so strong, to win an award meant showcasing talent, innovation, bravery and an ability to make a genuine difference and deliver tangible results. I would like to offer my congratulations to all who made it to the finals; they reflect the very best in global marketing talent.”
