SmartFocus Wins Bronze for Innovation in 2015 International Stevie® Awards

LONDON, August 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

- SmartFocus Continues to Earn Global Accolades for Innovation, Growth and Leadership 

SmartFocus, creator of the groundbreaking Message Cloud solution, has won a top international business award. SmartFocus announced today that the company earned a prestigious Bronze 2015 International Stevie® Award in the Most Innovative Company of the Year in Europe - United Kingdom category.

SmartFocus has gained significant marketplace traction this year as well as growing recognition of its thought leadership in the real-time marketing space. The latest accolade comes on the heels of recognition by respected independent industry analysts Forrester Research, Inc., who cited the company as a strong performer in its Forrester Wave™: Real-Time Interaction Management Q3 report earlier this month.

Jess Stephens, CMO of SmartFocus, says: "2015 has been an incredible year for SmartFocus, with major growth and recognition worldwide, thanks to our amazing technology innovations and leadership.

"We've made significant contributions to the body of knowledge in our industry by commissioning a primary research project that shed new light on what marketers need to know about customers and the Marketing Pain Points they experience. We've also acquired new customers and expanded our capabilities.  

"This award shows that our work with the Message Cloud is getting the recognition it deserves. The fact that we have won an award for innovation and gained recognition as a major player in the cloud marketing platform space reflects our drive and ongoing commitment to deliver smart technology that is truly transformational."

Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 200 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process from May through early August.

"The International Business Awards grow in stature and renown every year, and with that the number and quality of entries increases," said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. "This year's judges were treated to more than 3,700 stories of success and achievement around the world. We thank the judges for their time and feedback, and we congratulate the Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie winners whom we'll celebrate in Toronto in October."

Judges who evaluated the company's International Business Awards qualifications specifically cited the SmartFocus team's leadership and the company's strong growth, recognizing its "innovative, professional management," the quality of the acquisitions SmartFocus made to drive growth and how the company's ability to find solutions by listening to clients is driving its expansion.
