DIGITAL IMPACT AWARDS ASIA - WINNERS ANNOUNCED

The inaugural winners of the Digital Impact Awards Asia 2021 have been announced, setting the industry-wide benchmark for excellence in digital stakeholder engagement in the region.

The past year has taught companies the true value of digital communications, as globally people and businesses relied on effective online channels to connect with internal and external stakeholders.

“The past few years in particular has seen Asian companies really embrace digital corporate communications,” says Andrew Thomas, founder of the awards and publisher of Communicate magazine. As a result, the Digital Impact Awards Asia has mirrored this tremendous growth in terms of the calibre of entries received.

Each of the winners has demonstrated remarkable creativity and innovation in the research, strategy and delivery of its digital communications. With categories across a range of niches and sectors, the awards celebrate those companies that pushed the boundaries of what can be achieved.

With two gold wins for ‘Best digital communication as part of an integrated campaign,’ and ‘Best use of digital from the energy and utilities sector,’ it is no surprise that this year’s Grand Prix award goes to Shell China and BCW.

This year, due to restrictions in place surrounding the pandemic, the Digital Impact Awards Asia 2021 awards ceremony took place online. You can watch the ceremony on our Youtube channel.
