AWARDS FOR DIGITAL COMMUNICATORS IS NOW WELCOMING ENTRIES

We are surrounded by high budget digital consumer campaigns that excite and impress.The work being done in business to business communications can be just as new, exciting and innovative but doesn’t get the attention and accreditation it deserves. The Digital Impact Awards is a programme in place to honour digital stakeholder communications and provide reward to corporate communicators.

The Digital Impact Awards, now accepting entries, is the leading event for corporate digital work in Europe. It includes both in-house and agency work with categories recognising everything from intranets and employee engagement to social media campaigns to online annual reports. All the work shortlisted consistently illustrates how digital can be used to strengthen and propel an organisation’s communications strategy so that brand reputation is positively impacted.

Previous Digital Impact  Awards winner Tristán  White, internet manager at Legal & General says, “Both nexxar and Legal & General are absolutely thrilled to have won the 2014 Digital Impact gold award for best online annual report. We have won a lot of prizes over the years, but Digital Impact had always been the one that had evaded us (we came close in 2011, winning silver). To win this award in 2014 was the cherry on the cake for us, in what has been a fantastic year for achievements."

Those shortlisted organisations will attend an event that gives professionals a chance to meet their peers and to celebrate a job well done with their colleagues. The established ceremony is also an excellent way to showcase your team’s work.

Brittany Golob, editor of Communicate magazine, says, “Digital communications is no longer about demonstrating the latest technological advancement, it relies strongly on a coherent strategy, set KPIs and measurable outcomes. Past winners of the Digital Impact Awards have all shown their excellence in these areas and we expect this year’s entries to exhibit an even stronger focus on strategy and relevance to business objectives.”

The industry-wide celebration will be held in London in October 2015. Save £100 on your admission fees by submitting your work before 11 June, the final deadline is 9 July. For more information, visit the website: www.digitalimpactawards.com
