2020 Acquia Engage Awards Recognize the Dreamers, Makers, and Builders Driving Today’s Digital Experiences

Digital experience company Acquia announced the winners of the 2020 Acquia Engage Awards today. The Acquia Engage Awards recognize the world-class digital experiences that organizations are building with the Acquia Open Digital Experience Platform (DXP).

This year’s submissions, received from leading retail, technology, healthcare, public sector, and other organizations across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific, highlight creative responses to customer service challenges presented by today’s rapidly evolving environment. The nominated solutions all demonstrated an exceptional level of functionality, integration, performance, and overall user experience. A panel of independent judges chose the winning projects.

“This year’s entries were very ambitious,” said Stephen Medve, senior analyst, CMS-Connected. “With the unprecedented amount of change the world has experienced this year, brands have had to get creative with their digital experiences. They put an incredible amount of effort into their campaigns and submissions, raising the standards for digital experiences. The winners illustrated strong strategy, performance, technical talent and ability to deliver outstanding results. A huge congratulations to all the winners and finalists for a job well done.”

The three categories, Dreamers, Makers, and Builders, describe the stages of creating exceptional digital solutions.
