JUST Media Honors Best In Marketing Technology, Platforms and Partnerships

JUST Media works at the forefront of marketing innovation. Our integrated approach to media, data and creative allows us to pivot across a wide range of specialities, emerging technologies and strategic partnerships with other companies moving the industry forward.

To celebrate the outstanding ingenuity, commitments and foresight of media companies and marketing luminaries, JUST Media created these partnership awards.

“The companies and people honoured this year represent the high level of innovation and professionalism happening across our industry,” said Brandon Friesen. “These winners have proven impact within our agency’s business growth and transformational affects for the entire marketing industry.”
