These awards include the Outstanding Consumer Experience Award, Outstanding Retail Marketing Award, Outstanding Digital Marketing Award, Outstanding Innovative Marketing Award, Outstanding Gift Marketing Award, Outstanding Snack Concept Marketing Award, Outstanding Nutrition Marketing Award, and Outstanding Category Marketing Award. The awards will be judged by an evaluation committee composed of representatives from the Chilean Fruit Exporters Association, the China Food and Animal and Plant Products Import and Export Association, fruit industry media, and advertising industry organizations. The selection criteria include but are not limited to multiple dimensions such as market marketing, market influence, innovation, and consumer experience.
