Changes to Publishing category

In its continued efforts to move the industry forward, IAB South Africa has made some changes to the Publishing category to align with the organisation’s mandate to empower the media and marketing industry to thrive in the digital economy.

Publishing, therefore, is moving away from awards based only on the editorial value of online publisher products (websites, articles and video content) to include more aspects aligned with IAB SA’s core focus areas, namely, advertising, marketing and related digital publishing.
