The Sockies 2015 took over the RDS last night, presided over by RTÉ 2fm DJ Rick O’Shea.
The 2015 Maximum Media Social Media Awards saw more than 400 companies and organisations vying for the main prize, the Grand Prix award.
That big prize went to the team behind Dublin Zoo’s social media accounts, who also won ‘Best Use of Facebook by a Non-Profit/Organisation’ and ‘Best Integrated Social Media Campaign – Sponsored by Cloud90’.
