New York, New York (PRWEB) April 05, 2017 -- Vertic and PayPal are celebrating their win for the “Freelance Without Boundaries/#PayPalFreelancer” content-marketing program, which received a Silver award at the 9th Annual Internationalist Awards for Innovation in Media.
The award, organized by The Internationalist, celebrates the most innovative marketing campaigns from around the world.
