This year’s SMARTIES will honour marketers who have played a pivotal role in shaping the future of modern marketing and leveraged mobile applications to effectively deliver impressive results.

“Mobile continues to be a disruptive force, even more so with our increased reliance on it,” said Moneka Khurana, Country Head, India. “Our special category at this year’s SMARTIES recognised innovative marketing who successfully adapted to changing consumer behaviour and during these extraordinary times, and embraced disruptive ideas, creatives and campaigns to showcase compelling results.” Khurana further commented
