Econsultancy is a recognized source of independent advice and insight on digital marketing and e-commerce for a community of over 80,000 members worldwide. The Innovation Awards are a natural progression from our commitment to recognizing innovation in the industry, as demonstrated by our regularly updated Innovation Report.

Your entries will be judged by an international panel from companies known for innovation such as Honda, The Guardian, lastminute.com, Orange, Mindshare, Channel 4, Google, Isobar, PHD Media, Unilever and Poke, as well as digital gurus Avinash Kaushik, Jeremiah Owyang, Sidharth Rao and Dr. Dave Chaffey.

This is your chance to receive acclaim as an innovator, be recognized by your industry peers and stand out from the crowd.

The Innovation Awards are open to:

  • Individuals, client organizations, suppliers and agencies
    You may nominate your own work or on behalf of a client or supplier
  • Product, services or activity related innovations that have been made in the last 12 months
    This could mean they began life earlier than this and/or are still ongoing
  • All countries
    Taking place entirely online, these awards recognize innovation on a global scale: good innovation has no boundaries!
