22 in ‘22: Smirk Celebrates Big Wins at Marketing Excellence Awards
The Smirk team returned from the annual Marketing Excellence Awards with a grand total of 22 awards, more than any other participating agency. Smirk President and Managing Partner Allie Carrick was named the 2022 Young Pro Marketer of the Year at the event.
The awards gala was held at Will Rogers Theatre on September 30th, hosted by the Oklahoma City chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMAOKC). This year marks the third time Smirk was recognized as the winningest agency by our peers. These honors highlight a slam-dunk season for our clients and team.
I’m blown away by what we achieved in 2022. We had a shared goal to reach new heights this year and our team’s passion and dedication made it happen. I’m incredibly honored to be recognized by my peers as AMAOKC’s Young Pro Marketer of the Year. We share these awards with our clients who entrust us with their vision.
