Who are the most extraordinary sales and marketing minds in hospitality and travel today? The Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI) polled senior executives throughout the marketplace to identify the “Hot List of Top 25 for 2005.”
“There is an amazing amount of creativity, intelligence and passion in our profession which all too often goes unrecognized,” states Robert A. Gilbert, CHME, CHA, president and CEO of HSMAI.
“We see such clever campaigns and brilliant strategies all year long, and as the leading organization of sales and marketing professionals in hospitality and travel, we shed light on those individuals responsible with our annual ‘hot list’ of the ‘25 Most Extraordinary Sales and Marketing Minds in Hospitality & Travel’,” Gilbert added.
HSMAI asked top-tier executives throughout the hospitality, travel and tourism industries to submit nominees who best exemplified the set criteria: Whose marketing strategies are truly innovative and clever? Whose campaigns are standouts? Whose companies represent a sales-focused organization? Who gets results? Whose work do you wish was yours?
Nominees submitted were reviewed and scored by HSMAI’s Executive Committee, resulting in the third annual “Top 25” list.
The “Top 25” will be acknowledged at HSMAI’s annual Adrian Awards Gala on Monday, January 30, 2006 in New York. The black-tie event honors marketing excellence for advertising, public relations and web marketing. Additionally, all 25 honorees will be featured in an article in the spring issue of HSMAI’s Marketing Review.
