SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. (PRWEB) December 04, 2013 -- Digital Marketing Remix, a news and community website produced by Bizo that keeps B2B marketers up-to-date with the latest in digital marketing, today announced the winners of the inaugural Remixer B2B Display Advertising Awards. The awards recognize the best examples of B2B online display advertising creative in two categories: traditional static advertising and rich media advertising.
Award entries were judged based on the five basic elements of good online display creative: an arresting visual, intriguing headline, singular message, effective logo placement, and a compelling call-to-action.
In the traditional static display advertising category, Mack Trucks is the first-place winner with its “You’re Not Delivering Cupcakes” ad. The headline wowed the judges. Domo secured second place with its “CFO Porn!” ad; honorable mentions were earned by Hiring Thing’s “Try It Free” ad; Spiceworks’ “Real IT Pros Use Spiceworks” ad; and Kabbage’s “Because All Small Businesses Should Have Access to Capital” ad.

In the rich media display advertising category, Neustar is the first-place winner with its “Start Knowing” ad. The ad was recognized specifically for its ability to get across a simple but convincing message. Hoover’s took home second place with its “Coffee’s For Closers” ad; honorable mentions were earned by Lenox Tools for its “Car Cut” ad; Key Media Solutions for its “Not Just Clicks” ad; and by Xerox for its “99.318%” ad.

The Remixer Awards are giving great B2B display creative the spotlight it deserves.”
