Competing against large prestigious brands and global marketing agencies across the travel marketing industry, Aqua Marketing & Communications received top honors, winning multiple Adrian Awards sponsored by Hospitality Sales and Marketing International. The Adrian Awards are recognized as setting the "Gold Standard" for those in the travel, tourism and hospitality industries.

Aqua won a number of awards across a wide array of categories during the event held at the New York Marriott Marquis. Attended by nearly 1,000 hospitality, travel and tourism-marketing executives. The elegant affair is considered a must-attend industry event, and is recognized as a Top 100 Event in New York City by BizBash. Celebrating award-winning work and the people behind it, the Adrian Awards are selected by a prestigious group of judges representing the top tourism/travel professionals from across the globe.

"Winning the Adrians not only distinguishes us as innovators of our industry, but confirms that our agency continues to successfully deliver measurable results for clients," said David Di Maggio, President of Aqua Marketing & Communications. "We are honored to have an expert panel of tourism/travel professionals drawn from across the globe acknowledge our hard work and dedicated staff. Between this and the Flagler Awards our agency received in November from the state's tourism marketing corporation, VISIT FLORIDA, we have a lot of reasons to celebrate all we've been able to achieve for our clients."

The recent recognition is only the latest in a string of consistent wins for the agency. Recognized through a variety of awards recognizing the best in marketing communication, Aqua has also garnered nationwide acclaim in the destination marketing/tourism industry through the American Advertising Awards (formerly the ADDYs) and statewide acclaim from VISIT FLORIDA's Flagler Awards for excellence in tourism marketing.
