British Entrepreneurial Company Ve Interactive Gains A Third Nomination

Ve Interactive, the data driven services expert and multi-award winning entrepreneurial company is delighted to have been selected as a finalist in the ‘Affiliate Marketing’ category for the Econsultancy Innovation Awards 2012.

Econsultancy’s annual Innovation Awards shine a light on the finest creative thinking across the digital industry, celebrating pioneers and recognising what the “purple cows” of the global digital community have achieved: “We’re not interested in the bog-standard email campaign or ‘been there, done that’ SEO program. We want the ideas and work that are changing the way digital marketing is practiced.” (Source: Econsultancy site).

Ve Interactive is therefore honoured to have been selected: “This nomination is testimony to the hard work and creativity of the Ve Interactive team,” commented David Brown, co-Founder CEO. To be considered a purple cow company at this stage in our evolution is an accolade indeed and we are grateful to the Econsultancy judges for this endorsement. Purple cow companies are regarded as remarkable and counter-intuitive in their thinking, and this short-listing is a result of the intelligent software and services we have designed and built to address failure metrics (online abandonment) for the ecommerce industry. Being selected has only confirmed our commitment to continue to be an innovator in the digital marketing space."
