The awards ceremony followed the annual CIMPA conference, which outlined the “new formula” for marketing success.

Our local industry isn’t just keeping pace with global trends; we are setting the standard for how creativity and strategic insight can drive real commercial success. By mastering the ‘new formula’ of marketing, our professionals are proving that Cayman can be a hub of marketing talent and innovation on the international stage.
