The Independent Media (IM) publishing house partnered with the second annual National Business Communications Awards established by the Russian Association of Communications Agencies (AKAR). Independent Media General Director Maria Komarova and Marketing Research and Development Director Olga Bobrova served on the panel of judges for both the award and the Grand Prix. As part of the program, IM also presented its own award: “Breaking the mold: for the use of new technologies and approaches in solving marketing problems.”
Over a period of several months, leading industry experts selected the best marketing professionals, marketing strategy, and marketing campaign. The awards ceremony was held on February 15 at Gradsky Hall Theater in Moscow.
The submissions by the candidates for this year’s award showed that new technologies are not just an integral part of modern marketing communications, but primarily make it possible to create more convenient, timesaving services for the client that also facilitate qualitative two-way communications with the brand. Jury members noted that the number of such marketing solutions is increasing every year.
