New Connections 2000 awards for technology talent

Connections 2000, Marketing’s new awards event for the 21st

century, is open to entries. The awards aim to reward excellence in the

use of technology to communicate with customers.

The Connections 2000 categories recognise the role of new media, such as

the internet, WAP and interactive TV, as well as the increased relevance

to the digital age of ’older’ technologies, such as the call centre and

databases.

There are also categories for sales promotion, customer care and

customer loyalty activities that have been driven by communications

technology.

Conor Dignam, editor of Marketing, said: ’The best ideas depend on

marketing excellence allied to new technologies that bring benefits to

the customer.

Companies that win a Connections 2000 award can truly call themselves

business champions of the 21st century.’

The closing date for entries is Friday, September 15. Contact Samantha

Graham on 020 8267 4145 or e-mail events@haynet.com.
