The search for Scotland’s best digitally-focused businesses is on, as entries flood in for The Herald Scottish Digital Business Awards.
The awards, now in their ninth year, are organised by The Herald in association with DigitalBoost and supported by Enigma People Solutions and SQA, with an aim of rewarding companies large and small that bring benefits to their business and clients through digital marketing.
The E-commerce award is supported by Digital Boost, as the group strives to continue its support for the business community.
Hugh Lightbody, chief officer for the Business Gateway National Unit said: “Scottish SMEs are increasingly recognising the positive impact effective e-commerce can have on their business and many are taking practical steps to integrate it into their business and marketing strategies.”
Dr Janet Brown, SQA chief executive, said, “Harnessing digital technology can bring many benefits to business, including the upskilling of employees.”
David Mains, director of Enigma People Solutions, said: “For the eighth year in a row, we are sponsoring the Digital Agency Award. This recognises the Digital Agency that has shown the greatest efforts in digital innovation in Scotland.”
This year, 11 categories will highlight success in social media, consumer engagement within the public sector and in mobile.
The deadline for entries is August 24 and the only requirement is that you demonstrate success be that inventive, financial or in terms of popularity.
Full details of all categories are available at www.newsquestscotlandevents.com/events/digibiz. For more information, contact Heather Steven on 0141 302 6018.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
