The annual ACE Awards hosted by The Business Marketing Association of New York City, now in its 26th year, will once again recognize outstanding efforts in B2B marketing communications. The 2008 ACE Awards set an all-time record, with 436 entries from across the U.S. and from as far away as Australia.

This year's winners represent 41 categories ranging from corporate programs, print campaigns, direct mail, public relations and a significant number of interactive and online media entries. The entries were reviewed by an impressive team of judges, including M. Lauren Goody of Google, Mike Macina VP Group Creative Director Y&R, Todd Simmons Executive Creative Director Wolffolins, Sharon Driscoll VP Worldwide Advertising IBM, Nicole O'Rouke VP Advertising and Brand Management AETNA, Eileen Zicchino SVP CMO JPMorganChase Treasury & Securities, Antoine Rodeghiero Creative Director SteinRogan+Partners, and Steve Halsey VP of Gibbs & Soell Public Relations.
