2022 OmniShopper Awards Winners
The Path to Purchase Institute has named the winners of second annual OmniShopper Awards, the first and only program designed to recognize excellence in shopper engagement across the entire path to purchase, from newer tools like retail media networks and direct-to-consumer sales to traditional methods such as in-store displays and on-shelf signage.
In its second year, the program shines a spotlight on the effective activation of touchpoints both separately and as part of more comprehensive campaigns designed to reach shoppers at all stages of their purchase journey.
Twenty one winners were announced on Oct. 20 during P2PI LIVE in Chicago and will be spotlighted in the Nov/Dec issue of P2PI Magazine, as well as on P2PI.com.
