Created to honor overall excellence and breakthrough achievement in content marketing in the last calendar year, the gala will be held on May 22, 2014 in New York City. Digiday will award the brands, agencies, publishers and platforms that are pushing our industry forward in this increasingly vital form of advertising.

GE was recognized as a finalist in “Best Brand Digital Magazine,” “Best Use of Twitter,” “Best Brand Vine,” Best Use of Video Content,” “Best Brand Instagram,” and “Best Use of Pinterest” for its innovative social storytelling through visual channels. Its #6SecondScience Fair and #GravityDay campaigns, “Badass Machines” and “Hey Girl” Pinterest boards and Twitter 3D Printing Day campaign have resonated with GE’s audience, which has shown steady growth.

R/GA and OMD are nipping at GE’s heels with four finalist submissions each. Digital agency R/GA received recognition for its collaboration with Converse and its partnership with MasterCard on three different campaigns. Global media communications agency OMD got attention for its work with Walgreen’s and TaskRabbit, Pepsi Max and Slate.

Agencies Huge and Cake USA are each finalists in three categories. Huge earned attention for its Think With Google and Audi Snapchat campaigns while Cake USA received nominations for its Volvo Joyride campaign.
