Very encouraging to see high impact campaigns on digital:DIGIXX 2017 Jury

With the successful conclusion of the final round of the judging process, stage is now set for the first edition of DIGIXX Awards on March 10, 2015. In a bid to set an industry precedent, the entire Jury process was moved to the online platform. 

DIGIXX Awards is brought by Adgully in association with ad:tech, and will be held during the ad:tech conference at The Leela Ambience in Gurugram on March 9 and 10, 2017. DIGIXX Awards 2017 is powered by Adobe, while C1X, PivotRoots and Kantar TNS have come on board as partners. 

The online judging process has been widely appreciated by the industry stalwarts who were part of the Jury process. Pradeep Dwivedi of Sakal Media Group and Performics.Resultrix’s Mayoori Kango share their experience as esteemed Jury members for the final phase of judging. 

Pradeep Dwivedi, CEO, Sakal Media Group:
“It was a wonderful experience to be part of the jury for the inaugural DIGIXX Awards 2017. True to the name, the entire jury process with online facilitation and validation of entries was very convenient and engaging for us. However, it is the wide diversity and quality of entries that really stood out, and it is very encouraging to see high impact campaigns being run on the digital media alone. The winners, of course, had outstanding campaigns with real business impact, and hence, truly deserve the recognition.” 

Mayoori Kango, Managing Director, Performics.Resultrix:
“It was refreshing to be able to see the case studies in your own time, privately. It allowed for reflection and added to the ability to give these cases the attention that they deserved. It is wonderful to see so much good work being done and each year; the quality of the entries and ability of the people to tell stories seems to be improving.”
