Internet Evolution won for Outstanding Website; Enterprise Efficiency won twice, for B2B Standard of Excellence and Technology Standard of Excellence; and The CMO Site won for Marketing Standard of Excellence.

The WebAwards are a testament to the success of all three sites' emphasis on community and conversations, further substantiating that social media and interaction among peers, combined with award-winning editorial coverage, are valued across a variety of industries.

It's gratifying that our unique formula for building and nurturing highly engaged B2B communities is getting such prestigious recognition," said Steve Saunders, Managing Director of DeusM.
