2011 BCAMA Marketer of the Year Gala 
Westin Bayshore
October 13, 2011

Marketers are the word-benders, visual creatives, and social (media) butterflies of the business world; they can sell pretty much any product, idea, or experience. For the past four decades, the B.C. chapter of the American Marketing Association (BCAMA) has recognized the cleverest and most buzz-worthy marketing campaigns each year. 

This year, the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) earned recognition for its “100 Years of Fun” campaign, which reminded people of the history of the PNE, and increased ticket sales by reinvigorating the brand as a major entertainment destination in Western Canada.
