IAB Honors Exceptional Leaders in Digital Advertising with Its Annual Sales & Service Excellence Awards
PALM DESERT, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Today, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB)
announced the winners of its 2013 Sales & Service Excellence Awards.
Applauding outstanding leadership and performance, the IAB Sales Awards
are bestowed upon individuals and organizations that have demonstrated
significant success in interactive advertising sales, as determined by a
survey of executives in the interactive advertising buying community,
both agencies and advertisers. The IAB Service Excellence Awards
recognize exceptional member contributions to IAB industry-related
initiatives. The announcement was made at the 2014
IAB Leadership Meeting: "Marketing 2020: The Digital Agenda" at the
JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Desert, CA (News - Alert).
Sales Excellence Awards
The IAB Sales Executive Council oversees the Sales Excellence Awards
program. In partnership with Advertiser Perceptions, Inc., a noted
research firm specializing in the agency and marketer communities, the
IAB Sales Executive Council determined which awards would be given and
developed the criteria for the awards. Advertiser Perceptions, Inc. then
deployed and fielded a two-part customer feedback survey to identify the
sales organizations and individuals who are viewed by the ad buying
community as achieving the highest standard of excellence.
Approximately 600 agency and marketer decision-makers responded across
two waves of research. The respondents represented a broad cross-section
of verticals, including Automotive, CPG, Financial, Retail and Travel.
Each individual respondent spent at least $1 million on interactive
advertising over the last year.
