Q & A with 2014 Marketer on the Rise Winner- Aaron Nemoy

When we interviewed you about potentially winning Marketer on the Rise you told us that you “feel fortunate and truly honoured just to be named a finalist by the judging panel alongside the other fantastic marketers nominated. The award would be great recognition for my career to date and would motivate me to live up to the title in the future.”

 

So you won: Tell us what went through your mind as they called your name:

My first thought was, did they really just say my name?? Followed by, do I need to make a speech?! But ultimately I felt humbled by the support from the marketing community and very fortunate, especially considering the caliber of all of the finalists.

 

It’s no secret you had a colleague on the slate alongside your nomination: Brad Canario. What was that like – Can you still be friends…?

Yes, absolutely. Actually we celebrated at the event together and had an amazing time.

 

Awards like this can be great leverage for a raise – What did your boss say? 🙂

The support from the entire organization has been overwhelming, from promoting the contest during the voting phase to celebrating the award. This is a win for Kraft Marketing and great recognition for everyone on my team, after a year in which we took some risks and did things differently to grow the business.
