"In a category often dominated by agency-led campaigns to promote big-budget consumer brands, the judges felt that the winner of this category had clearly demonstrated how intelligent and cost-effective use of on-line media could significantly strengthen and develop a brand’s position, even in a highly competitive online sector."
