AMA Cincinnati was beyond ecstatic to celebrate regional marketing excellence at the 11th Annual Pinnacle Awards on May 31, 2018. Finalists were recognized and winners were revealed across nine categories. We closed out the evening presenting the 2018 class of Cincinnati Marketing Legends. You can also view the photo album on our Facebook page.
