MM+M asked you to share your picks for the Cutest Pet in Healthcare and Marketing Communications – and you answered.

With around 40 submissions in our end-of-the-year industry contest, including from workers at numerous MM+M Agency 100 honorees, the competition was both fierce and adorable.

Following much consideration and judging, we have arrived at one pet whose cuteness stood above all others.

The winner of the 2022 Cutest Pet in Healthcare and Marketing Communications is Winston, who was submitted by Courtney Wessel, Digital Strategy Manager at Fingerpaint Group. Congratulations to Winston and Courtney!

We appreciate your submissions and all of the cute pets we got to see! Their holiday cheer brought smiles to our faces during the most wonderful time of the year.
