Chartwell Agency Receives Eight MarCom Awards

Chartwell Agency, an award-winning marketing firm based in northern Illinois, recently earned eight MarCom Awards from the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP).

The MarCom Awards honors excellence in marketing and communication while recognizing the creativity, hard work, and generosity of industry professionals. Since its inception in 2004, MarCom has evolved into one of the largest, most-respected creative competitions in the world. Each year about 6,500 print and digital entries are submitted from dozens of countries.

A national panel of industry experts judge each piece solely on its own quality, creativity, and resourcefulness. Judges base their decisions on learned perceptions of creative excellence rather than an entrant’s imaginative explanation of an entry’s value.

Chartwell received two Platinum awards, the top recognition, three Gold awards, and three Honorable Mention awards for its work during the past 12 months.
