Congratulations to the winners of the Data Strategy Awards 2013!

A record number of people were shaken and stirred at the glamorous Awards evening at the Lancaster London on 7th February 2013, where they discovered which brands and marketers triumphed in this year's Awards. You can see the full list of winners here.

If you missed out on entering this year’s Awards, make sure you’re the first to receive information about next year’s by register your details here (though we will be giving ourselves time to have a breather first so it’s likely to be later on in 2013).

Thank you to all the brands and agencies that entered the Awards this year. To reflect just how important data now is to marketers, we received more submissions than ever before to put in front of the judges. It was a record-breaking year, which is wonderful news when the economy as a whole is so challenging. We enjoyed reading each and every case study; those which won were scrutinised heavily by the expert marketers on our judging panel.

Thank you also to the judges, who put in weeks of hard work, reading, and arguments to choose worthy winners. It means so much to the winners to have their work assessed by such critical and clever minds.
 
You can see those minds in action, discussing the age old question - whether marketing is an art or a science - in this online video.

And of course thank you to the people who came along to the Awards on the night, along with the sponsors whose support makes it possible for us to run them.

While the Awards are over for another year, don't forget you can read Data Strategy regularly in Marketing Week.  And the brilliant case studies we've seen showcased by the Awards will give us more ammunition to write with even more detail and passion about data marketing and keep you ahead of the game.

So thank you and congratulations again to all the very deserving winners!
