The 2018 Excellence awards are granted in six categories: 1) Communications, Communities, and Collaboration, 2) Innovation in Digital Experience, 3) Multi-Platform Communications, 4) Social Data for Customer Experience and Operational Efficiency, 5) Storytelling, and 6) Fellows Choice Awards.

“Digital transformation presents organizations with the opportunity to improve strategic decision-making, efficiency, and communications. Winners of this year’s awards program have demonstrated that they’re capitalizing on these opportunities and proving themselves to be innovative users of the latest technologies,” said Alex Parkinson, senior researcher and director of SNCR. “Not only are these organizations putting technology to use, but they’re also adept at measuring their results. That’s what made them really stand out to our Fellows.”
