And that’s a wrap! The 2018 #Promote Innovation Challenge has come to an end. The marketing solutions submitted this year were among the most diverse and inventive that we’ve seen in the three years that we’ve run #Promote. We’re delighted to share the results and tell you a bit about each of the finalists.
#PROMOTE2018
Each year, we seek out the most innovative solutions in the industry to highlight in our annual #Promote Innovation Challenge. This year, we took it up a notch with a focus on impact and execution. Each of the six selected finalists were matched with a brand advertiser and given the opportunity to prove their solution with a $50,000 Twitter ad campaign.
Once campaigns were completed, we invited all finalists to @TwitterNYC to present their solution and case study before a judging panel of Twitter executives.
The 2018 #Promote Innovation Challenge judging panel included JP Maheu (VP, Twitter Client Solutions, US); Guilherme Ribenboim (VP, Global Client Solutions Development); Robin Wheeler (Senior Director, Sales); Ilya Brown (Senior Director, Product Management); and Stacy Minero (Head of Content Creation).
Finalists had just 10 minutes to communicate why their product is the most creative solution that delivers real results for Twitter marketers. Judges scored each presentation and then deliberated over which business to award the grand prize of $100,000 in Twitter media.
