Profiles of the 2016 World Digital Media Awards winners

Innovation knows no boundaries, and that has never been more evident than in this year’s World Digital Media Awards winners. More importantly, they reaffirm that publishers can glean best practice from all corners of the globe: Oman, South Africa, India, Mexico, Germany…

The awards recognise publishers who have created ground-breaking digital products, services or content for their engaged audiences. The winners are drawn from WAN-IFRA regional Digital Media Awards in Europe, Asia and Latin America and for the first time this year in India, the Middle East and Africa.

This report provides a behind-the-scenes look at how these publishers, nine in all, covering 10 categories, hatched their ideas and strategies, planned their execution, involved their audiences, and in most cases, helped the bottom line. We conducted interviews with the people in charge of the winning projects and asked lots of prying questions – and got lots of revealing answers, which are incorporated in the report.

Thus the report includes in-depth information about this year's winners:
