Announcing the Winners of Our 2013 Marketing Awards: The Mashies

On Thursday evening advertising executives, brand marketers and press gathered at New York's Altman building to celebrate the winners of the inaugural Mashies awards, honoring the best and most creative work in digital marketing.

This summer, we invited marketers and ad agencies to submit their work for consideration, and the number of submissions well exceeded our expectations. In partnership with our editorial team, our guest judges — which included Ray Velez, the CEO of Razorfish, Ian Schafer, the CEO and founder of Deep Focus, and Benjamin Palmer, CEO and co-founder of The Barbarian Group — combed through hundreds of submission to select the best, which we present to you below.
