The Transportation Marketing and Sales Association (TMSA) presented its Sales and Marketing Mountain Mover of the Year award winners at its Executive Summit in Hoboken, NJ late last week, concluding the organization's 2024 award program.
“We are proud to give these awards to all of the incredible sales and marketing professionals in transportation and logistics, “ said Jennifer Karpus-Romain, TMSA Executive Director.
“From trailblazing campaigns to purpose-driven initiatives that are championing community and sustainability, and the people behind the brands that are driving the work, each winner is a testament to the power of innovation and dedication happening right now in this industry.”
TMSA has four major award categories: Purpose (community and sustainability initiatives), Trailblazers (best of sales and marketing campaigns), Rising Stars (individuals who have been in the industry five years or less), and Mountain Movers (top sales and marketing leaders).
