Paradise Marketing & Advertising Inc. was honored last night as a “Top 25 Marketing Vendor” at the 2021 OnCon Icon Awards, an exceptional recognition alongside exceptional brands such as The Coca-Cola Company, IBM, NBC Universal, Reddit, Tealium and Valassis. Paradise was the only Florida agency honored this year. 

Nominated by a vast network of Chief Marketing Officers and marketing executives, 25 stellar marketing vendors are selected annually for the prestigious award. Dozens of hand-selected CMOs and marketing executives cast their votes based on one or more of the following considerations: Exceptional product/service or set of products/services; Strong contributions to their solution category professional community through thought leadership; and Strides in innovation in their solution category. 

Paradise CEO Barbara Karasek accepted the award at the 2021 OnCon Icon Awards ceremony, which was held virtually this year. “Last year was a rollercoaster and tough on everyone, so I couldn’t be more pleased and humbled on behalf of our team,” she said. “We showed empathy and compassion as we dug in, pivoted a million times, and fought and persevered for our clients and our staff. By outsmarting challenges, innovating quickly and allowing data to lead us, we shine as marketing partners and business growth strategists for clients every day.”

Revered as one of the most creative and integrated agencies, Paradise implements a data-led and results-oriented approach to solving problems and delivering client solutions. Since its founding in 2002, Paradise has won more than 400 awards for branding, creative, media, social media, videos, websites and public relations. In addition, CEO Barbara Karasek earned the 2019 Cynopsis Media Digital “IT List” Award honors. 

“Paradise has been doing great work, and it has not gone unnoticed. The marketing community has spoken and selected Paradise as a Top 25 Marketing Vendor at the 2021 OnCon Icon Awards. The competition was fierce, but ultimately, marketers selected Paradise to the list,” stated Sean Tomarelli, Founder & CEO at OnConferences. “Finalists for the award included some of the top marketing organizations in the world, and there were over 10,000 votes tallied for this year’s awards.
