The Awards are continually honed and redefined to ensure they reflect current trends in creative communications.
This year sees the introduction of a new Awards category for Creative eCommerce. The Award celebrates creative, commercial ecommerce, payment solutions and innovation. Entries will need to demonstrate how the innovation and optimisation of the customer journey led to increased consumer engagement and commercial success.
