Calling all dreamers, makers, and builders to participate in the premier honors, the 2019 Acquia Engage Awards.

Every year, the Acquia Engage Awards celebrate the best examples of our customers and partners’ work. It’s a time to showcase what happens when the world’s most ambitious brands embrace innovation and create customer moments that matter. In 2018, Acquia honored 15 winning projects, which were selected from a competitive field of finalists.

Today, we invite you to participate in the 2019 Acquia Engage Awards. We are calling all dreamers, makers, and builders to share how they are building tomorrow on their terms and are setting the new precedent for exceptional digital experiences.

2019 Categories and Criteria

A panel of distinguished judges comprised of digital experience platform and digital marketing experts will evaluate submissions based on several criteria: functionality, integration, performance (results and key performance indicators) and overall user experience. All submissions must represent initiatives, updated features or work built with Acquia and completed in 2018 or 2019.

Dreamers

Closing the CX Gap: Brands invest a LOT to deliver great customer experiences. But nearly half of consumers say companies are falling short of their expectations. Why the disconnect? We want to honor the digital teams that are closing the customer experience gap and building customer moments that matter.

Best Personalization Practice in Action: Customer experience initiatives focused on delivering the right content to the right person to increase engagement and conversion. Everyone is talking about personalization, but who is really doing it well?

Leader of the Pack: Organizations that are setting the bar for digital experiences in their field or industry.

Makers

Excellence in Digital Marketing: Projects that put marketers in the driver’s seat to inform, direct and curate the best digital experiences for users.

Marketing Automation Heroes: Spotlighting organizations that are deploying open solutions for marketing automation to build, test and optimize smarter campaigns, and deliver personalized messages across channels for better customer experiences.

Best Return on Investment: Organizations that have implemented strategies that ensure governance and reduce cost and time-to-market...and have the results to prove it.

Builders

Innovator of the year: Projects that are leading market innovation and are pioneering the experiences of their peers’ dreams. We want to celebrate the best examples of building a project on your own terms, whether it’s making the most of best-of-breed technologies, building seamless third-party integration, or innovation through integration.

Best Decoupled Build: Projects that utilize the next generation of front-end technologies, from node.js to digital signage, conversational UIs, beacons or augmented reality.

Open Source Giants: Strongest contribution to the Drupal ecosystem, through Drupal.org or GitHub code contributions, event sponsorship, community mentorship, or technical excellence.
