element14 wins best community development at digital impact awards

element14 was named a silver winner in Best Community Development at the 2014 Digital Impact Awards in London. The annual event recognises the world’s best corporate digital strategy and marketing campaigns, and element14 earned top honours for supporting its global electronics distribution business via a 275,000-member online forum and design centre.

“As an electronic components distributor, our customers rely on cutting-edge technologies that enable design solutions to real-world problems. Supporting our customers quickly and expertly across the breadth of their needs is at the core of what we do, and this wouldn’t be possible without the support of a dedicated online community of the world’s brightest engineering minds,” said Dianne Kibbey, global head of community, element14.

“In today’s digital landscape, consumers demand choice,” Kibbey said. As more and more business is conducted online, customers’ experience will involve so much more than just a virtual shopping cart, Kibbey said.

With the recent launch of the element14 Design Center within the element14 Community, engineers can also find the most comprehensive range of development tool information, product details and supporting information when looking to bring their prototypes and designs to market swiftly and efficiently.

Since its inception, element14 has attracted engineers from more than 130 countries.
