The Wichita American Marketing Association held its Marketer of the Year luncheon this afternoon at Century II. Sonia Greteman, CEO and creative director of the Greteman Group, was the winner. It wasn’t much of a surprise because the slide with her picture and the tag “Marketer of the Year” appeared on the big screen moments before the announcement. Whoops.
That slight glitch aside, it was a nice event with a good turnout (including Pizza Hut founder Frank Carney, who was there to support Terry Newman of Papa John’s, one of the nominees.) The keynote speaker, Jeff Manning of the Got Milk? campaign, was interesting and entertaining. I didn’t know that Oreo — the consummate milk partner — actually embossed its cookies with the “Got Milk?” logo.
