Madison Social Media Marketing Awards

Social Media Breakfast Madison (SMBMad), turns 15 this fall, and we are using the opportunity to introduce the Madison Social Media Marketing Awards. Beginning on Tuesday, September 3, Dane County residents can nominate their favorite social media accounts in the Madison-area.

“Social Media Breakfast has always been about education, networking and sharing best practices from local experts,” said SMBMad President Liz Boyd. “We wanted to celebrate our 15th anniversary by bringing more awareness to the contributions this vibrant community of social media professionals, non-profits, influencers, and small local businesses make to our city. They’re the reason we started, and what has made the organization’s journey so successful.”

 

The Social Media Marketing Awards will open for nominations on Tuesday, September 3, and anyone from the community can nominate an individual or business in one (or multiple) of the 14 categories. Categories include:
