Cork businesses urged to enter Digital Marketing Awards

It's that time of year again - the Cork Chamber Business School are accepting entries for the 2016 Cork Digital Marketing Awards.

Cork businesses are urged to showcase their digital successes and achievements by entering the awards. There are 16 categories this year, including 'Best Use of Emoji'.

“The importance of digital marketing simply cannot be ignored, with 2 million Irish people checking Facebook every day, 1 in 4 on Snapchat, and entire conversations now take place through emojis," says Aoife Dunne, Business School Manager.

The overall winners last year were Partnership International. “The Cork Digital Marketing Awards were an amazing success and we were honoured not only to attend but also to receive two awards, including the overall Grand Prix.
