The BIMA 100 celebrates the people who are shaping the British digital industry. They are the thought leaders, changemakers, disruptors and pioneers. They’re established figures within the industry who continue to be at its vanguard. They’re ‘ones to watch’ – new innovators in the chosen digital space who are making everyone else sit up and take notice.
Perhaps most of all, as our judges have noted, the people who comprise this year’s BIMA 100 have created a ‘wow’ factor. They’ve gone above and beyond the norm. They’ve challenged convention. Or they’ve given us a unique approach to age-old challenges.
Here, then, are your BIMA 100 for 2018. Congratulations to them all. You can view highlights of the event here.
