With the improving progression in digital advertising resources, processes and systems, it is only fitting that WSI, the world’s major provider of digital promoting solutions, recognizes excellence in this dynamic field. The company held its 5th Annual Excellence Awards Ceremony on the first evening of its global Excellence and Innovation (E&I) Convention in Miami last week. Close to 500 WSI industry experts went to the gala evening meal and honours service as WSI business enterprise and corporate head office publicized the winners of their 2010 Excellence Awards.
Ron McArthur, President of WSI says, “The WSI Excellence Awards identify high quality in digital internet marketing strategies served by our Experts to the internet business communities in their community marketplaces as well as extraordinary successes in the WSI system. For the 5th year in a row, we have seen some standout websites and Internet marketing and firm quality from the global WSI network. The excellent winners list is a firm account to our industry leadership and constant originality toward accomplishing new frontiers in this fascinating field. I want to congratulate all the winners of WSI’s 5th Annual Excellence Awards for their wonderful results.”
This year, the WSI Excellence Awards were separated into 4 categorizations: Marketing Awards, Recognition Awards, Revenue Awards and Supplier Awards.

WSI Corporate then researched all the submissions and made a shortlist of 17 final nominees, at which point the entire franchisee network had the chance to vote for the techniques they assumed were most deserving of a 2010 WSI Marketing Award.
