MIXX Awards 2008 Open for Entries ? Unprecedented Cross-Industry Panel of Judges : Leading Marketers, Agencies and Publishers to Select Best Interac

NEW YORK (Business Wire EON) June 2, 2008 -- "To our knowledge, this is the first time agencies, publishers and marketers have come together to referee a major advertising awards program," said Randall Rothenberg, president and CEO of the IAB, the trade association for interactive media in the United States. "This unprecedented assembly of media and marketing professionals reflects our belief that success in interactive advertising is about the entire ecosystem collaborating to drive growth."

Winners of the IAB's 2008 MIXX Awards will be announced at a ceremony in New York City on Sept. 23, near the start of Advertising Week, a gathering of the media and marketing industries that typically draws 10,000 professionals to conferences, seminars, recruiting events, and parties celebrating advertising and its evolution.

Agencies, marketers and publishers are invited to submit entries in any of the 18 MIXX Awards categories from today through June 20.

In addition to the traditional categories?which include Brand Awareness and Positioning, Product Launch, Search Marketing and Digital Video, among others?the IAB called for entries to three new categories this year: Social Marketing, Widget Marketing and Brand Destination Site, reflecting the steady stream of innovation that has been a hallmark of the growth of interactive media.

The MIXX Awards are open to marketers and advertising agencies that have run any media, marketing or advertising campaign that was carried out during the qualifying period: April 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008. Full details and entry forms are available at www.iab.net.

Founded in 2005 to honor creativity and effectiveness in interactive advertising, the IAB's MIXX Awards have grown into the premier honor in digital marketing. Last year's MIXX Award winners included many of the most prominent brand marketers in the United States, including Anheuser Busch, American Airlines, The Coca-Cola Company, BMW, Royal Caribbean, Showtime and Unilever, as well as leading agencies such as Universal McCann, Ogilvy, McKinney, Digitas, BBDO and Mindshare. In 2007, the gala's ultimate honor, Best in Show, went to Goodby, Silverstein, and Partners, San Francisco, for its super-rich media campaign for Hewlett-Packard, "The Computer is Personal Again."

From the beginning, the MIXX Award judging panel was composed solely of executives from consumer marketing organizations. But with the guidance of its MIXX Awards Advisory Board, the IAB changed the panel's composition to include agency and publisher executives, as well.

"Case studies increasingly show that digital marketing excellence requires marketing strategy, media channel and advertising content work intimately together," Mr. Rothenberg said, "so having judges who represent these different spheres simply made sense."

The generous platform is ringed by a sturdy fence that includes branches of the tree itself, random two-by-fours, wooden signs, and even a pair of moose antlers. The 'house' is more of a lean-to, tall enough for kids (but not adults) to stand up inside, with a screened door and two screened windows positioned so occupants can easily spy on the diners below or out over the adjacent parking lot.
