About

We all know that many of the great campaigns could not happen without the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to implement the brilliant idea and make it work.

That's why in 2010 the IPM and Promotional Marketing magazine launched the Marketing Services Awards, otherwise known as The COGS.

This year over 1600 individuals from clients and agencies recommended over 350 marketing services companies they have worked with in the last two years.

Take a look at the gallery page on the site to see who the big winners were in 2010 and 2011.

Right now, we'd like you to take one minute out of your day to vote for the individuals or companies that in your experience provide outstanding service, above and beyond what was expected of them.

Once all the votes are in, those nominated companies will be asked to enhance their chances of winning by submitting an entry form. Companies will get points both for the number of votes they have had, and the quality of their entry, as determined by our judging panel, made up of leading promotional marketers from the IPM, DMA and leading agencies.
