Congrats to our 2016 Winners!
GABBCON’s Audience Based Buying Innovation (ABBI) awards celebrate the very best and most innovative companies in audience-based buying. GABBCON ’s approach to the ABBI awards was unique. While the entry process was fairly customary (companies could submit an award or entry or be nominated by peers), we leveraged the advertising and media buying audience to select our winners. GABBCON sent surveys to over 8,000 advertisers, agency staff, publishers and AdTech companies asking them to judge entrants. “What better way to judge winners then to leverage audience to judge audience based innovation awards.”, said Gabe Greenberg. “I also think the win is far more meaningful when you take into account that thousands voted and selected the winners.”
