03 May 2022 Craft Beer Marketing Awards Crushies Announced

2022 Craft Beer Marketing Awards Crushies Announced

The CBMAs Crushies are meant to recognize the best beer marketing and design in the world, and the time to recognize 2022’s winners is upon us. This worldwide competition has over 500 beverage and beer industry professionals from 24 countries.

What’s a Crushie, and What Are the Craft Beer Marketing Awards?

The Craft Beer Marketing Awards are in their third year, founded in 2019, this is the only global awards competition to recognize and celebrate the importance of craft beer marketing and design as a key to success in this highly competitive marketplace. That’s a lot bigger and cooler than our little MVB celebration.

Cool cool cool cool cool.

But what’s a crushie?

Winners in each category are awarded a Craft Beer Marketing Awards Crushie. Winners can upgrade their win with a Crushie Trophy designed by the same well-known NYC-based award designers that created the Emmy, Golden Globes and the MTV Moonman.

Platinum and Gold Crushies are awarded to winners in each region. Global Crushies will be awarded to winners who opt-in to be judged at a global level in addition to their regional entry.

With the increasing competition of nearly 9,000 breweries and counting, the art of craft beer culture, creative marketing tactics have become a vital part of craft beer brewery’s business and strategy. Marketing, label design, creativity and other efforts to connect with potential customers and build recognizable brands are recognized.

How are the CBMAs Judged?

The Craft Beer Marketing Awards are divided up into 5 regions across the globe:

• The Americas
• United Kingdom
• Europe
• APAC – Asia and Pacific (including Australia and New Zealand)
• MENA – Middle East, Africa & Beyond

All categories are judged by an influential and respected panel of beer, marketing, and design experts from around the world. They use a “robust, credible, and transparent digital scoring system.”

Design nerds will recognize judges like David Carson, Jon Contino, and Ralph Steadman. Beer nerds might recognize names like Chris Jacobs, Keith Villa, and Megan Stone. Still others, the business minds that bring all of this visual and sensory creativity together, may recognize names like Alex Ostler of Arryved, or Candace L. Moon the Craft Beer Attorney.

The judges panel reads like a whose who of modern day movers and shakers within the beer industry. They’ll be judging on over 40 categories covering all aspects of brew marketing—from labels to logos and tap handles to taprooms. New categories have been added by popular demand, and returning this year are “Sustainability–Environmental Awareness” and “Human Rights.”

Craft Beer Marketing Awards Announced At the 2022 Craft Brewer’s Conference

Many design companies, agencies, and even tiny shops like us are taking notice and submitting work.

Fun fact: we’ve been a part of a few submissions for some of our work with Ingenious and No Label, and even been a small part of a few wins with No Label!

The CBMAs press release reads, “This underscores the CBMAs focus on the growing importance of creative art and design in packaging and brand building as marketing tactics for brewers to stand out in today’s ever-growing and competitive marketplace.”

They ain’t lying.

With the competition growing more and more every day, it’s no wonder that a global competition like the CBMAs is receiving so much attention in only its third year.
