The new awards are the brainchild of local entrepreneur Sophie Roberts, Founder of showrunners Hampshire Digital and Managing Director at digital marketing agency Koozai.

She said: “After months of hard work, we’re delighted to confirm that the Hampshire Digital Awards are now open for entries from ambitious businesses in the region.

“Not only are the awards presently still free to enter for this year, but they’re also an excellent opportunity for businesses and professionals to gain the recognition and publicity they deserve for exceptional work in any area of digital marketing, including SEO, PPC, Content, PR and website design.”

This year will see companies and professionals honoured in five categories:

• Best SEO or Digital Marketing Campaign
• Best In-House Digital Marketing Team
• Best Digital Marketing Specialist(s)
• Best Digital Marketing Rising Star
• Best Website

Sophie added: “We have seen some fantastic examples of brilliant digital marketing from local businesses already this year, and we’re excited to see the best of the county’s marketing talent come forward.

“For anyone interested in entering, the judges will be looking for clear objectives, creative and effective implementation, and tangible and demonstrable results from applications in each category.

“They will also take into account the structure, presentation, and clarity of each entry.”

The awards welcome anyone who lives and works in Hampshire and is involved in at least one aspect of digital marketing as part of their role.

Applications close on Friday 9th June, with a final shortlist announced in September and winners decided the following month.
