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 not about selling expensive ceremony tickets, they are a natural progression from our commitment to recognizing innovation in the industry, as demonstrated by our regularly updated Innovation Report.

Entries will be judged by an international panel from companies themselves 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. In addition, winners will:

  • Receive coverage through the highly-regarded Econsultancy blog, Twitter account (with over 12,000 followers) and email announcement to our members.
  • Become part of the Econsultancy focus on innovation leadership with long term presence (and valuable links) on the our website and the potential opportunity to feature in future editions of Econsultancy's popular Innovation Report (used by the digital and VC industries alike).
  • Be included in news releases distributed to our global editorial community of journalists, bloggers and industry influencers.
  • Be granted use of the 2009 Innovation Awards winner logo (also provided to shortlisted entrants), customized for each category.

You'll be joining previous winners such as Thomas Cook, mydeco, Photobox, GAME Stores Group, TradeDoubler/Dell, Unique Digital/Sky and lastminute.com who have all used the awards to gain the competitive edge, establish their brand and attract business and media interest.

“Quirk was exceptionally proud to be a winner at last year's Innovation Awards. Econsultancy represents our industry better than anybody, so to get recognition for our work from them was very special. The award has also generated a lot of interest and business for Quirk, so we will be sure to enter again this year.”
