As Content Marketing Institute’s community manager, I know firsthand how powerful communities, on- and offline, can be. Since starting at CMI, our community has grown. The industry has matured. And with this evolution, leaders have emerged.

That’s why CMI and VP of Marketing Cathy McPhillips established the CMWorld Community Champion Award. With this award, we want to recognize individuals who have exemplified leadership within our community, excelled in day-to-day content marketing, and have shared knowledge, learnings, challenges and successes.

Before our fourth Community Champion is named, we wanted to introduce you to our previous winners. These leaders connect people and information. They are expert contributors, empowering other marketers with their tremendous knowledge. Sometimes, they attend our weekly Twitter chats. They host a meetup at Content Marketing World. They encourage conversations year-round. But always, they prove they are innovative professionals committed to content marketing. And they are all-around good, kind people. They deserve peer recognition for their outstanding efforts and achievements.
