MARCE stands for MARketing and Creative Excellence, and MARCE Awards are presented to the producers of the year’s best On Hold Messaging productions.

On Hold Messaging is a versatile, cost-effective marketing tool that organizations use to promote their products and services to callers on hold. It can also be used to support a company’s brand identity, answer frequent caller questions, shorten perceived hold times, and even entertain callers.

Formerly known as The Holdie Awards, the OHMA-sponsored competition began in 2005. Awards are presented at the On Hold Messaging Association’s annual conference which will be held this year in Atlanta from March 19-21. Winners do not need to be present at the conference to win.

The On Hold Messaging Association is an international organization comprised of audio marketing agencies that have joined together for common purposes, including:
? The advancement of the business community's awareness of On Hold Messaging as a cost-effective marketing tool
? Maintaining the highest service standards
? Sharing ideas and technologies between members
? Providing members with networking opportunities
? Promoting strict standards of ethical business conduct
