In case unfamiliar, the Ad to Action Awards program was created in order to celebrate the most innovative local marketing and advertising products or solutions, with an emphasis on those that drive consumer actions (calls, clicks, store visits, etc.).
In order to accommodate the diversity and breadth of the local space, this year we added more categories and changed some to be more inclusive. The categories are:
Presence Management
Automation
Verticals & Marketplaces
Attribution & Analytics
Platforms & Services
Mobile
Social
Video
Print
Best Local Ad Campaign
As the February 28, 2015 deadline approaches, make sure to submit your local solutions for a chance to be recognized at LSA|15 April 20-22 in LA and in LSA blog posts, communications and webinars. We look forward to your submissions and good luck!
