An industry trailblazer since inception, our continued focus is on setting the benchmark for digital excellence, and the multiple awards in designing and developing innovative websites for our customers is reaffirmation of our work as a bold and nonconformist agency creating cutting edge digital work.”
The participants of the competition were judged on both creativity and technical achievement by a panel comprised of industry experts chosen for their broad web expertise and the ability to spot talent. The competition also had input from the public who voted for their favourite sites.
Shashanka Kalahe, Head of Digital Development at Ogilvy Digital, who led the winning teams, attributed the awards to Ogilvy Martech’s insights on the industry. “As Sri Lanka’s first and largest full service specialized digital media agency, we are ahead of the curve when it comes to understanding the client’s need to have a digital presence that matches its physical standing. We also resonate with their need to reach and retain consumers in the digital space, which is why conceptualising and developing a great website is essential in this day and age. The awards validate our industry expertise and we owe gratitude to our customers who recognised our work and are the ultimate beneficiaries of our work.”
