The innovative Nokia Digital Media Awards today announce the Finalists for the 2012 Awards. Visit www.digitalmedia.ie for a full list of Finalists.
The 'Love Digital' award ceremony will be hosted by the Strawberry Alarm Clock’s Jim Jim from FM104, and is set to take place on Friday, 30 March, 2012 at the Convention Centre, Dublin.
This year saw a record number of entries received. With 25 categories, the range and variety of projects entered and companies involved has grown immensely, with 26 more companies entering in 2012 than in the previous year. 12 new categories were added for 2012 which reflect changes in the digital media sector.
The new categories include: The Cloud Innovation Award, Best Search Marketing Campaign, Most Useful App, and Best SME Using Digital/Integrated Media.
Commenting on the finalists, Event Director Tracey Carney said: "This year we had a record number of entries and companies involved, and as such, competition is fiercer than ever before. The digital sector is developing very rapidly, and we are consistently updating our categories to reflect areas of growth within the sector.
With this in mind, it is great to see that some of our new categories had the highest number of entries yet, including Best Search Marketing Campaign and Best Integrated Media Campaign. Best of luck to all Finalists".
Since 2003 the Nokia Digital Media Awards have been the industry barometer by which standards are set and exceeded. Projects reached the 2012 finals from companies including Agency.com, eightytwenty, Webfactory, CKSK, Target McConnells, and Cybercom.
As ever there was an impressive line-up of judges on hand to determine the winning projects, including industry experts from Nokia, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Enterprise Ireland, The Digital Hub, and many more high-caliber companies around Ireland.
