Office Depot wins Internet advertising award

Boca Raton, Fla. – Office Depot has won an Internet Advertising Competition Award (IAC) for “Best Retail Social Media Campaign” from the Web Marketing Association. The award recognizes Office Depot’s digital campaign supporting back-to-school with Office Depot’s “#Together Against Bullying” collaboration with the band One Direction.



"We're proud to be recognized as 'best-in-class' by the IAC, but even more proud of how this program has touched students' lives," said Tim Rea, executive VP of marketing for Office Depot. "More than 160,000 students skip school every day to avoid being bullied, so creating awareness to address the issue is critical."
