Inductees are chosen by a distinguished panel of past Marketing Hall of Fame honorees, AMA New York board members, and senior marketing leaders from across industries. To be invited as a judge is itself a mark of achievement, reflecting excellence and respect within the profession.
Judges not only recognize today’s brightest marketers but also help define what excellence looks like for the next generation. Their collective expertise ensures the Hall of Fame honors individuals whose impact is both immediate and enduring.

Every eligible nomination is reviewed through multiple rounds of evaluation. Judges score candidates on innovation, influence, and measurable impact, ensuring honorees reflect the highest standards of marketing excellence.
The jury includes past inductees, AMA New York board members, and senior executives representing a wide range of geographies, roles, and industries. Their breadth of experience brings both rigor and perspective to the process.
