“Having followed the digital industry and the IAB Bookmarks closely for several years now, it is amazing to see how the quality of work being showcased has increased, as well as the size and quality of the event changed significantly each year. It is also a great testament to the state of digital marketing in SA. There is an incredible number of talented finalists, making it a lot harder to stand out, but at the same time, incredibly rewarding when you do,” says Schoderer.
