About the IMA Awards…

Interactive marketing is becoming as vital to direct marketers as to brand marketers or promoters; and we thought it was time the IMAs reflect that growing importance of online tools. So for the first time, this year’s IMAs have been expanded to include direct-response campaigns that use interactive channels to achieve outstanding performance and have the metrics to back their claims. In most categories, DM and promotional campaigns will be judged side by side. (Cross-platform campaigns for each were judged separately, because of different available options.)
