Cork Airport is nominated for two awards at the inaugural Cork Digital Marketing Awards.

The awards, which showcase the innovative use of digital marketing in driving business performance by Cork Businesses, will take place on Thursday 6th November at a gala lunch in The Kingsley Hotel, Cork.

Cork Airport is a finalist in the ‘Twitter for Business’ category which includes its recent Wild Atlantic Way activation campaign. Cork Airport was also nominated in the Video Category for its Happy Video filmed earlier this summer with staff playing the lead roles.

Speaking about the nominations, Kevin Cullinane, Head of Communications, Cork Airport, said “We are absolutely delighted that Cork Airport has been nominated in the inaugural Cork Digital Marketing Awards.

“Cork Airport understands the importance of a strong digital marketing strategy to enhance business performance. We have close to 25,000 followers across our Twitter and Facebook channels and are always looking for interesting and effective ways of engaging with our audience.”

Damien Mulley of Mulley Communications, a digital trainer for the Cork Chamber Business School and organiser of the Web Awards and the Social Media awards, will bring his experience of running awards shows to manage the nomination and judging system.

The winners will remain a closely guarded secret until the announcement at a gala lunch in the Kingsley Hotel on November 6, 2014 where KC, Programme Director of Red FM, will be MC for the event.
