"Digital innovation has accelerated to deal with a highly competitive landscape and to meet the demands of today's discriminating consumer," says Mark Gothberg, Awards chairman.  "Organizations realize that their websites, social media outlets, mobile applications, and multi-channel marketing are vital for engaging current and prospective customers and improving operational efficiency."
