Global digital agency DigitasLBi scored five finalist nods in the first annual Digiday Retail Awards, created to honor overall excellence and breakthrough achievement in digital retail marketing and advertising in 2013.
At the Digiday Retail Awards Gala on Feb. 25, 2014 in New York City, Digiday will award the brands, agencies and technology providers who are successfully building retail brand identity and awareness while creating the best user experience for today’s digital customer. To learn more about the judges and judging criteria, see here.
Digitas was recognized as a finalist five times in three different categories — “Best Social Brand Program,” “Best Branded Mobile/Tablet App” and “Best Digital Brand Marketing Campaign” — in large part due to their socially interactive video campaigns for Miller Lite pegged to the 2013 NFL season.
Agencies Huge, SapientNitro and R/GA were close behind Digitas with three nominations each. Huge and R/GA were recognized for their work with Diageo and Nike, respectively, in the category “Best E-Commerce Experience,” and all three agencies were nominated in the “Best M-Commerce Experience” category.
Given the growing challenge of how retailers are transforming their physical environments for a digital world, a key category was “Best Digital Retail Environment, In Store.” Finalists in that category were MaxMedia for AT&T’s interactive “Store of the Future,” SapientNitro for their work on both LensCrafters and The Home Depot’s in-store experiences, and Sport Chek for creating a unique, user-friendly method of designing custom sneakers in-store.
The full list of finalists is available on the Digiday Retail Awards site and listed below. The winners for all categories will be announced at the Retail Awards Gala at City Winery in New York City, Feb. 25, 2014. We hope to see you there.
