"It was thrilling to see the quality and diversity of the work submitted for this year's Supernormal Awards. We had over one hundred submissions for eight award categories this year. Both our panel of judges and our team were impressed by the amount of work that was dedicated to each submission," said Anda Gansca, CEO and Founder of Knotch. "When we started the awards, the category was still shunned by the industry and we wanted to provide an outlet to celebrate the creativity behind the work we touch and measure every day. As branded content continues to evolve into becoming an integral part of the marketing mix, we are excited to be a part of understanding and celebrating its impact. We're already looking forward to next year."
