The Craft Beer Marketing Awards Celebrate the Best in the Industry
Craft beer has exploded in popularity in recent years, with new breweries and unique flavors popping up all over the world. With so many options on the market, it takes a lot for a brand to stand out and make a name for themselves. That’s where the Craft Beer Marketing Awards come in.
The Craft Beer Marketing Awards (CBMAs) have been celebrating the best in the industry since 2020. The awards recognize the creativity, innovation, and excellence within the craft beer marketing community. The CBMAs are judged by a panel of industry experts, and the winners are announced live at the Craft Brewers Conference.
The Crushies: Celebrating Creative Design
One of the biggest draws of the CBMAs is the Crushies, which celebrate creative design in craft beer marketing. The Crushies award categories such as:
– Best Can Design
– Best Bottle Design
– Best Tap Handle Design
– Best Overall Design
Design is an essential part of craft beer marketing. A well-designed can or bottle can grab a customer’s attention, while a unique tap handle can help a beer stand out on draft lists. Those who win Crushies can proudly display their awards as a testament to their creativity and design skills.
