Through its innovative use of online marketing, including its attention to tracking and measuring its campaign results, it was able to drive room sales and ROI aggressively in an unpredictable travel market. We congratulate Amari for this win, and hope to see them launching even stronger online ad campaigns that combine search and display in the future.”
This year’s judging criteria included: creative use of Google products and technologies, interactivity and functionality, creative concept and overall user experience, and was judged by a panel of advertising experts from the region.
