About

The CAASIs are open to all organizations and individuals involved in designing, building, and managing creative work for business-to-business (B2B) companies and organizations.

The CAASIs were dreamt up to celebrate fresh thinking, innovative approaches, and creative genius in B2B Marketing. We noticed that awards programs did not cater to the constraints and unique challenges of B2B marketing, often pitting nascent brands against behemoths with seemingly unlimited resources. It’s time for B2B Marketers to step into the spotlight.
