The nominated solutions all demonstrated an exceptional level of functionality, integration, performance, and overall user experience. A panel of independent judges chose the winning projects.

“This year’s entries were very ambitious,” said Stephen Medve, senior analyst, CMS-Connected. “With the unprecedented amount of change the world has experienced this year, brands have had to get creative with their digital experiences. They put an incredible amount of effort into their campaigns and submissions, raising the standards for digital experiences. The winners illustrated strong strategy, performance, technical talent and ability to deliver outstanding results. A huge congratulations to all the winners and finalists for a job well done.”
