The Programme Committee chose this paper based on the combination of research innovation and impact at Microsoft. They remarked that the way the paper demonstrates the use of the latest academic theory and how this has been used to shape and reform traditional brand approaches at Microsoft is very compelling. And, most importantly, the paper demonstrated how the new approaches informed Microsoft strategy and the examples provided gave a true sense of the commercial impact.
