The big difference in 2011, though, is that you'll now be able to submit an essay or case of up to 500 words about the genesis, development, execution, and results of your campaign.  In the past you had to do all that in up to 100 words. Here are the new marketing categories (the letter/number combinations are in internal category codes).  You'll note that a few of the Specialty Campaign categories are advertising-specific: **Marketing Campaign of the Year - Industry Categories** E01. Accounting E02. Advertising, Marketing, & Public Relations E03. Aerospace & Defense E04. Automotive & Transport Equipment E05. Banking E06. Business Services E07. Chemicals E08.
