OMiG Digital Marketing Award winners show a maturing sector

Galway’s marketing stars gathered recently in the Town Hall theatre to celebrate the OMiG 2017 Digital Marketing awards.  Host Robin Chedgney awarded winners in eight categories, newly redesigned to accommodate teams of greater and less than ten employees.

Maricka Burke Keogh, OMiG Founder and Head of Digital Marketing at Altocloud was impressed by the quality of the submitted campaigns.
