The Mobi Awards 2013 winners, with videos and case studies

Mobi Awards

• Founded: 2009
• Organized by: DIGIDAY
• Deadline for entries: July.
• Entry fee: N/A.
• Number of entries: N/A.
• Finalists announced: October… but full details are unavailable.
• Winners announced: October, at the Mobi Awards Gala in New York City.
• mobiThinking verdict: The Mobi Awards used to provide an in-depth report on each of the winners and finalists – as good as those provided at Cannes. Sadly today Digiday only provides list of winners, with no links or video case studies, and this was surprisingly hard-to-find on the Website. The URL for the Mobi Awards published in this press release was still unavailable a month after the ceremony. A full list of finalists was also unavailable.
mobiThinking believes all awards should provide details of, and/or a video case study for each winning campaign. Not only do such reports provide excellent publicity for the winners/finalists, and help educate the rest of us to the DNA of an award-winning campaign, but also adds to the authenticity of the competition – i.e. you can judge for yourself if they are worthy winners. As Mobi Awards no longer provides this service, it is difficult to recommend them ahead of rival mobile awards that take their legacy more seriously.

Message to the winners: Congratulations. If you want to see your video case study featured here, please send us a link to a video, case study or other details of your campaign or service to: editor (at) mobiThinking.com.
