The Awards, which were launched on Tuesday night, are jointly organised by Online Marketing in Galway and Galway County and City Enterprise Boards (GCCEB) in collaboration with the Connacht Tribune Group.

“Technology, in particular digital media is an area that we have developed over the past number of years. Technology is pervasive in every sector and we are working with OMiG to find and reward digital products that engage readers while starting or growing their enterprise through their online media,” said CEO of the GCCEB Breda Fox.
Announcing the Awards, Maricka Burke Keogh, founder of OMiG said: “In addition to the Awards, we aim to promote the benefits of Online Marketing to companies who may not have adopted such strategies yet.”
