This week Direct Marketing News hosted its third annual 40 Under 40 Awards event at the Dream Downtown hotel in New York; and what an event it was.
After weeks of build up, the festivities kicked off proper Tuesday afternoon with a swank awards luncheon, during which nearly 30 of the winners accepted their awards in person, joined by a roomful of almost 150 colleagues and other supporters.
Check out what some of the attendees had to say about the event and their congratulations for the winners.

The event wasn’t all awards and celebration. Nominees Ryan Bonifacino (Alex and Ani), Amy Hoopes (Wente Family Estates), Kim Land (Herald-Journal), and Sally Mundell (Spanx) got serious about technology’s role in modern marketing, successful leadership and marketing practices, and defining career moments.
