Those who were in attendance last year may or may not remember it – the wine was flowing freely, as were the positive vibes and plenty of networking. For those who will be fully focused on the awards, they’ll find a healthy competition judged by agency, label, publishing and music production professionals, awarding trophies in 11 unique categories, as well as a “Best In Show” award chosen by its Curatorial Jury.

Past inductees include Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Budweiser, Nike, Chevrolet and Pepsi.
Taking leadership roles in the 2016 AMP Awards will be the Chair of its 2015 Advisory Board, Paul Greco, Director of Music & Radio, for J. Walter Thompson, New York. Greco will be joined by past Advisory Board Chairs Rani Vaz, Sr. VP/Director of Music and Radio, BBDO, and Josh Rabinowitz, EVP/Director of Music, Grey Worldwide.
