What the Recognition Means
The International Content Marketing Awards, organized by the UK-based Content Marketina Association (CMA), are the world’s most prestigious honors in the content marketing industry. Each year, they celebrate the best in creativity, strategy, and innovation – across storytelling, design, data, digital performance, and SEO.
Being shortlisted among leading international brands and agencies is a major milestone, especially for a project developed entirely in-house.
"Behind this success is the strength of our in-house expertise and cross-functional teamwork. Our deep linguistic and cultural insight enables us to go far beyond simple localization, creating content that connects, engages, and delivers results in every market."
