Online urban community work.shop.play. announced this week that it has been awarded the accolade of Insight Panel of The Year at the 2014 Vision Critical EMEA Summit. Vision Critical manages over 700 communities and each year awards a prize for the best performing EMEA community.
work.shop.play., the only B2B company shortlisted this year, fought off strong competition from brands including Vodafone, Nando’s and Adidas to win the coveted award, voted for by 110 industry peers.
Finalists were required to demonstrate the success of their community, following an initial written entry. The prize is further recognition for the online panel after it was named Runner Up at the 2013 awards.
The award win follows a successful year for work.shop.play., the insights from which offer Exterion Media unparalleled insight into the thoughts, mind-sets and behaviours of urban audiences.
The panel has seen astounding growth of more than 50% in 2014; membership numbers now stand at 10,634 up from 6,823 at the start of the year; making it the biggest online urban community of its kind in the media industry.
