Quintiles, a provider of biopharmaceutical development and commercial outsourcing services, has received further recognition for the company’s digital communications with two “Internet Advertising Competition” (IAC) awards: one for its corporate website, Quintiles.com, and one for its patient education site, ClinicalResearch.com.

The IAC awards provide companies with an opportunity to highlight their best online advertising in 96 industries and nine online formats. The competition is produced by the Web Marketing Association to honor excellence in online advertising, recognize the individuals and organizations responsible and showcase the best in award-winning Internet advertising.

The updated design, along with new functionality to personalize the user experience, enables visitors to search, store and share information and thought-leading solutions quickly and easily.
