”The entries this year show a wider range of analytical approaches across more industries, and a broader geographic scope," said Elaine Rodrigo, global director of consumer insights and strategy with Mondelēz International, who served as jury president for the Data & Analytics category and the inaugural ecommerce awards. "It's great to see the growing interest in this field, as it is becoming increasingly critical for companies to have the right information, real-time, so as to make fact-based decisions in a challenging business environment."

Added Andrea Hayes, festivals director, “It is always exciting to reach the shortlist stage and see the industry’s progress from year to year.
