The Web Marketing Association judges will select the best online newsletters of 2014 in 86 industries as part of their 12th annual Internet Advertising Competition (IAC) Awards. The IAC Awards are the first and only industry-based advertising award competition dedicated exclusively to online advertising. Companies or agencies wishing to nominate their work for consideration may do so at www.IACAward.org<\/a>before the deadline of January 31, 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnline newsletters are a critical marketing tool for many companies trying to maintain an ongoing relationship with customers and prospects,\u201d said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association.  \u201cEach online newsletter will be judged on copywriting, creativity, innovation, design, impact, and use of the medium. The IAC Awards provides an opportunity to find out who is doing an outstanding job creating online newsletters. It\u2019s also a great marketing opportunity for the winners to promote their work to senior management, customers and prospects\u201d.<\/p>\n

 \u201cWe believe that winning an industry specific award is more valuable to the participant.  It allows the participants to be judges against their peers, just like in the marketplace,\u201d said Rice.
The 2013 Best of Show winner for Online Newsletters was rabbit eMarketing GmbH for WWF fundraising email campaign.<\/a><\/span>
