Bangalore - Infosys BPO Ltd., today announced that it has won the Gold Award for Marketing Excellence in the category of ’Marketing with Social and Interactive Media’ at the Information Technology Services Marketing Association (ITSMA) Awards 2012.

We believe that innovation in the digital world, combined with seamless teamwork, will continue to garner significant results. We will continue to focus on such innovative initiatives that aim at creating a social media presence to drive and sustain community engagement"
The uniqueness of the initiative is that Infosys BPO created a novel community to enable discussions among the buy-side, the sell-side, and the influencer-side of the outsourcing community and the Infosys BPO leadership team. This was indicative of a spike in brand awareness and the brand proposition of ’optimize, transform and innovate’ among the desired target audience.
