The winners of Digital Impact Awards Asia 2022 have been revealed, setting the benchmark for excellence and ingenuity in digital stakeholder engagement, and recognising brilliance in a sector that continues to grow.

Recent years have proven the importance of digital corporate communications, with online channels becoming the platforms on which modern businesses depend to connect with internal and external stakeholders.

After launching the Digital Impact Awards Europe back in 2009, it has been hugely exciting to extend the programme to Asia and to have received such a tremendously high calibre of entries.  

“The pandemic has meant that companies have needed to engage with stakeholders through digital touch points,” says Andrew Thomas, founder and publisher of Communicate magazine. “What we didn’t expect was that they would do so with such creativity, ingenuity and flair." 

Each winner has shown remarkable skill in the research, strategy and delivery of their digital communications. With categories spanning a broad range of sectors, the Digital Impact Awards Asia celebrates those companies that are pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved.

With gold wins for both ‘Best use of digital to an investment audience’ and ‘Best use of digital from the financial services sector’, it is no surprise that this year’s prestigious Grand Prix award goes to Schroder Investment Management (Singapore) Ltd and antics@play.
