During the last days the short list of IAB Europe Research Awards finalists was announced. These prestigious prizes will be awarded during the upcoming Interact Congress in Barcelona, in the evening of the event’s first day, 8th June 2011. We are pleased to inform everyone interested that the common work of Gemius and IAB Europe, the regional knowledge compendium – the 2010 “Do you CEE” report – was chosen as one of six finalists in the category “Social Media”!

As IAB Europe elaborates on the significance of the contest: The awards will be an opportunity for the digital marketing world to applaud the contribution made to the development of the industry by the leading research projects and the teams that created them. After the award winners have been announced at Interact in June 2011, IAB Europe will compile top line results from all the projects entered to build a comprehensive resource for industry professionals to be circulated throughout Europe.

 The panel of judges who will choose the best project in each of six categories of the awards includes, among others,  Bruce Hoang – Group Marketing Director, Orange Advertising Network, Fay Miller – Marketing Manager, Adconion Media Group, and Patrick Marck – General Manager IAB Belgium.

The sponsor of the IAB Europe Research Awards is Lightspeed Research.

May the best project win!
