Winners of the 2020 New Generation Social & Digital Media Awards announcedThe winners of the 2020 New Generation Social & Digital Media Awards were announced on Friday night during a 70 minute, live virtual awards ceremony. Stephen Paxton, founder and owner of the awards comments; setting a standard for others to follow, we set the benchmark high and delivered a spectacular, fully interactive virtual awards ceremony. Paxton adds, 2020 has been all about change, innovation and maintaining positive mental attitudes. Learning to adapt one's business model and work ethics to suit current situations. Situations that none of us could have prepared for. With well over 400 entries received this year, I would like to thank each and every one of you for entering this year’s awards and for going that extra mile in showcasing some truly exceptional work. Seeing this year’s entries has installed faith back in me, knowing that South Africans no matter what challenges we are faced with, “Maak ‘n Plan”. Teams have become more technically minded, smarter strategies can be seen across multiple platforms, resulting in clever content, greater reach, and the engagement and results achieved with lower budgets have been phenomenal. We saw greater focus on community engagement based campaigns and the innovation shown by brands to capture audiences throughout the past 12 months, especially over the past 6 months during lockdown, has been second to none, says Paxton. If you missed the ceremony, you can watch the entire show here.
