SeenThis, a creative technology company offering innovative streaming solutions for digital advertising, was chosen as the winner within the category ‘Media and Brand Awareness’ by the members of the selection committee and received the prize by Bernard Arnault, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, during the award ceremony in Paris.
SeenThis was chosen by the selection committee with the nomination presented by Mathilde Delhoume-Debreu, Global Brand Officer at LVMH : “What guided our choice for the winner of the category Media and Brand Awareness was first our customer – because we want them to experience inspiring but also non-intrusive advertising. Second, our Maisons – because they have beautiful content to share and we want them to share it in the most efficient way. And third, last but not least – our planet. By minimizing data usage we also minimize our carbon footprint.”
Since 2017, the LVMH Innovation Award has been one of the highlights of the Viva Technology show, a key event for the world’s innovation scene and considered to be Europe’s biggest startup and tech event. For the 2022 Innovation Award, 950 entries were received from 75 different countries around the world.
