The National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association has shared the winners of its 2024 Golden Penguin Awards, recognizing marketing and merchandising in the frozen and refrigerated foods industry.

Entries are judged by a panel of marketing professionals who look for creativity, clarity and effectiveness when supporting the promotional months. Winning entries and campaigns feature measurable results and approaches executed in March, June and July.

A total of 140 awards will be presented across the three promotional periods.

“This is where the top of the top are recognized. From large-scale national campaigns to inventive local promotions, each entry reflects the dedication and creativity that make our industry thrive,” said Tricia Greyshock, president and CEO of NFRA.

The Golden Penguin Awards recognize various categories, offering multiple opportunities for participation: in-store display, in-store event, community involvement, social media campaign, private brand campaign, retail dietitian wellness program and overall marketing campaign (with subcategories for retailer, wholesaler, manufacturer, sales agent and local association).
