Silicon Valley, CA (January 17, 2019) - The Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI) will honor Milestone Internet Marketing with five Adrian Awards for digital marketing excellence for its winning entries in the annual Adrian Awards, the largest and most prestigious global travel marketing competition. This year Milestone is being recognized with 2 bronze awards, 2 silvers and one gold award for hotel website design and digital marketing.
 

The 2019 Adrian awards announcement follows closely on Milestone's win in November 2018 for "Best Hotel and Lodging Mobile Website," as well as "Best in Show" by the Mobile Web Awards. Milestone's hotel website design for VIVE Hotel Waikiki beat out over 70 other winners across dozens of categories to capture the best overall award for mobile website design. "Our commitment to creating exceptionally beautiful websites was a strong focus for us in 2018," said Mr. Aggarwal. "In 2019 we will extend on that commitment and continue to grow our investments in website technologies, making a powerful combination," continued Mr. Aggarwal.
 

2018 was a record-setting year for Milestone as it received wide industry acclaim for both its hospitality focused service offerings as well as for its suite of software products. In 2018 Milestone received more than 40 awards, including the prestigious Search Engine Land "Best Overall SEO-SEM Campaign of 2018." 2018 also saw Milestone being short-listed for the US Search awards for a third straight year. "2018 was another outstanding year for Milestone," stated Anil Aggarwal, CEO of Milestone, "Being recognized for our achievements in both software and digital marketing are true testaments to the dedication of our employees and the relationships we have with our clients. Our recognition for the 2019 Adrian Awards is an incredible way of starting off the new year," continued Mr. Aggarwal.
 

"The Adrian Awards celebrate travel marketing innovators whose awesome creativity and hard work are integral not only to the success of their companies, but to the continued growth of the hospitality industry as a whole," said Robert A. Gilbert, CHME, CHBA, president and CEO of HSMAI. "HSMAI will be proud to recognize these award winners and their outstanding campaigns at the Adrian Awards Gala."
 

Milestone won a Gold Adrian Award for Tarrytown House Estate, Silver Adrian Awards for Revere Hotel Boston Common and for the PWA implementation of the Grand Velas Riviera Maya, and Bronze Adrian Awards for Hotel Nikko San Francisco and VIVE Hotel Waikiki. Milestone's recognition is not just for its achievement in hotel website design, but also encompasses the work performed in omnichannel marketing. Anil Aggarwal, CEO of Milestone, stated, "it is very rewarding to be highlighted among peers for a job well done, we are glad to deliver amazing results to our clients and for their properties to be highlighted on such a large stage as the Adrian Awards."
 

Milestone will be honored during the HSMAI Adrian Awards Gala on January 22, 2019 at the New York Marriott Marquis. Attended by more than 1,000 hospitality, travel, and tourism marketing executives, this black-tie affair is a must-attend industry event.
