The Reno-Tahoe American Marketing Association (AMA) is pleased to announce its 2015 Ace Awards winners. This year, over 140 nominations were submitted across 12 categories, the highest volume ever received. Once duplicate nominations we accounted for, the Reno-Tahoe AMA board then reached out to all of those who were nominated, and began the process of collecting more information about each nominated effort. The nominees were ultimately narrowed down to 52 finalists based on the board’s review of the submissions, which were then voted on by the association’s judging panel to determine winners.
