The E-Commerce & Digital Marketing Association (ECDMA) is setting a new standard for industry recognition with the launch of the ECDMA Global Awards. This pioneering program goes beyond celebrating front-line innovators to acknowledge the crucial role support functions like HR, PR, and supply chain play in driving e-commerce and digital marketing success.

“We’re not just recognizing achievements; we’re celebrating the entire ecosystem that fuels the digital economy,” says Eugene Mischenko, ECDMA President. “For the first time, functions like HR and logistics, often overlooked yet vital to success, are taking center stage.”

The awards program aims to:

• Drive industry growth: By promoting best practices and innovation across all departments.
• Foster collaboration: Connecting professionals from diverse disciplines to share knowledge and insights.
• Elevate standards: Establishing benchmarks for excellence, raising the bar for products and services globally.
• Inspire future leaders: Showcasing achievements that motivate the next generation of e-commerce and digital marketing professionals.

Building on the success of the Armenia Digital Awards, ECDMA is taking its recognition efforts global. “We saw the positive impact of recognizing local talent,” explains Leonid Gladilin, ECDMA Partner. “The ECDMA Global Awards scales this impact, creating opportunities for professionals and organizations worldwide to gain recognition and inspire others.“
