Judge ’ s comment : “ A pioneering , impressive , innovative result , producing a sustainable format beyond the pandemic . I love the complete re-invention - inviting viewers in to the ‘ behind-the scenes ’ of the judging process , in true broadcast spirit . This clever result was no doubt down to a collaborative mesh of highly skilled but also technically astute team members , working tirelessly behind the scenes to create something original and engaging . A great example of what is possible when you decide that the show must go on .”

BEST WEBINAR SERIES Winner : Diabetes Professional Care Company : CloserStill Media
Judge ’ s comment : “ Unbelievable number of questions asked ! Clearly a highly-engaged group of attendees . I especially like that sponsors were not able to influence the content , making sure it remained relevant and educational rather than sales pitches . Great use of social platforms to carry on engagement and broaden reach . It developed a whole new audience through the services hence the engagement was the excellent .”
