HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J., March 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Demand Gen Report has unveiled the winners of its ninth annual Killer Content Awards (KCAs). Since 2012, the KCAs have spotlighted B2B brands that are pushing creative limits, embracing new storytelling methods, formats and campaign strategies, to better engage audiences through their content. The 36 winners were announced during an exclusive cocktail reception at the 2020 B2B Marketing Exchange in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Garnering approximately 150 nominations, the Demand Gen Report editorial and design team worked diligently to select their list of finalists, which include established brands such as Equifax and disruptive tech companies like Clio.
“As far as the judging process goes, this year was perhaps the most difficult year to date,” noted Alicia Esposito, Senior Content Strategist of Demand Gen Report and coordinator of the KCAs. “This alone reaffirms that B2B brands are really stepping up their game and testing new tactics to better reach and resonate with their audiences. We’re living in an age of digital deluge, but these brands truly stood out from the pack.”
One company that especially rose to the top was Nitto, Inc., which was recognized as the 2020 B2B’s Choice Award winner. The company’s Americas Discovery Center was selected as a community favorite due to its innovative use of Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and personalization, to create an immersive physical experience.
“Nitto is an example of a brand that brought the best of digital and physical together to guide buyers through a comprehensive story,” Esposito explained. “The company put visitors in charge of the journey, allowing them to customize their experience to their wants and needs.”
