During our recent annual holiday party, we took the opportunity to recognize some of our outstanding employee contributions from 2017. eshots was founded on the principle that people and culture are a company's greatest assets. As part of our commitment to culture, our managers work with their teams to be a positive force for change in our industry, to bring tremendous passion to their roles and to use high-quality data to drive better decision making for our clients. Each year we recognize the employees that best embody those qualities, all of which are featured below.

This award is given to a new staff member who made the greatest contribution towards achieving our corporate goals, representing our cultural values and maintaining a great attitude.
