Association

The best online video advertising in 86 industries as part of the 18th annual Internet Advertising
Competition (IAC) Awards. Companies or agencies wishing to nominate their video work may do so
at www.IACAward.org before the deadline of January 31, 2020.

Boston, MA, December 10, 2019 --(PR.com)-- The Web Marketing Association judges will select the
best online video advertising in 86 industries as part of their 18th annual Internet Advertising
Competition (IAC) Awards. The IAC Awards are the first and only industry-based advertising award
competition dedicated exclusively to online advertising. Companies or agencies wishing to nominate their
video work may do so at www.IACAward.org before the deadline of January 31, 2020.

“Online video has exploded in popularity over the past few years as a form of advertising and it looks like
this trend is likely to continue,” said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association. “Videos
can be standalone viral projects, serials, or page-based creative. Each online video ad will be judged on
creativity, innovation, impact, design, copywriting, and use of the medium. The IAC Awards provides an
opportunity to find out who is doing an outstanding job creating online video. Winning awards is also a
great marketing opportunity for the winners to promote their work to senior management, customers and
prospects.”

“We believe that winning an industry specific award is more valuable to the participant. It allows the
participants to be judges against their peers, just like in the marketplace,” said Rice.

Past Best of Show video winners from IAC Awards include:

2019 Cell Counting Music Video won by Thermo Fisher Scientific

2018 ADHD Unbranded Videos won by Shire and Intouch Solutions
