SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 20, 2014) - DataSift, the leading social data platform, announced today that Founder and Chief Technology Officer Nick Halstead received the Digital Masters Award for the Technology category at a ceremony in London that brought together more than 300 of the U.K's most senior digital executives.
The Digital Masters Awards were created to celebrate the executives spearheading the region's digital revolution and to become the benchmark for excellence in digital leadership. Halstead was recognized for his extraordinary achievements over the course of the past year and their reflected credit across the U.K.'s digital ecosystem.
"At DataSift, our vision is for all organizations to make the use of social data integral to their business, from market research to product delivery and every process in between," Halstead said.

I am honored with this recognition from the Digital Masters."
