Commenting on DIGIXX Awards 2017, Baruah said, “Digital is growing exponentially. It calls for a mindset change, for unlearning, for re-skilling. It means confidence, experimentation, inventive thinking and creativity. Recognising good work in digital will be extremely encouraging for brands and teams. I look forward to DIGIXX 2017.” 

The DIGIXX Awards 2017 screening committee – comprising senior marketing and media professionals – will evaluate and score each submission.
