Chicago, IL—The American Marketing Association (AMA) and the AMA Foundation are pleased to recognize this year’s marketing award winners who were celebrated at the 2024 AMA Summer Academic Conference held in Boston, Massachusetts, August 15-18, 2024.

“The influence of technology-powered marketing and its intersection with the global economy, geopolitics, socio-cultural issues and human behavior warrant exploration into transformative research that has potential for implementation in responsible business practices,” said AMA CEO, Bennie F. Johnson. “We convened scholars and practitioners from more than 38 countries in Boston this past week for our 2024 AMA Summer Academic Conference to talk about reconnecting with humanity and marketing’s role in promoting responsible technology while serving people. What an amazing and generative experience. And it was an honor to congratulate and celebrate all of this year's awardees for their research and scholarship in the marketing profession. Their work is changing marketing’s future.”
