DMG Media Ireland is celebrating award success after being crowned Sales Team of the Year at the Media Awards 2020, which were hosted virtually on Thursday 22nd October.

The prestigious Media Awards recognise best practice, excellence and innovation in the Irish media industry. This year, more than 280 entries were received from a broad range of media agencies, media owners and brands.

Alongside their gold medal, DMG Media Ireland scooped bronze in the Best Sales Initiative category for its effectAV platform, a first party data-driven solution that amplifies audiovisual campaigns running on the group’s online platforms.

Over the moon with the team’s success is group head of advertising sales Karl Byrne, “I’m hugely proud of the whole team. To be recognised as the leading sales team in our industry by our peers is very much appreciated. This award celebrates innovation, creativity and service. Our success is down to three things; the people in our team, the passion they have and the products we represent.”
