Computing wins award for History of IT Infographic

Groundbreaking infographic showcasing 40 years of IT excellence recognised by prestigious Internet Advertising Competition award

Computing has won an award for its groundbreaking History of IT infographic, which it produced late last year.

The infographic - History of IT - showcased key events in IT from the past 40 years, and was made in association with Intel to celebrate Computing's 40th anniversary last year. Viewers were able to vote for their favourite event, and suggest landmarks which they felt had been omitted from the timeline.

The History of IT won both the "Best B2b Social Media Campaign", and "Best Technology Social Media Campaign" in the Internet Advertising Competition.

The awards were presented jointly to both Computing's publishers, Incisive Media, and Mind Orchard, the creative agency commissioned to produce the infographic.
