The CrossBorder Award rewards the Dutch e-commerce company with the best international marketing case. Today the five nominees were announced.

The beanbag seller from Den Bosch won the prize with its international campaign The world's laziest job'.to draw attention to Lamzac via user generated video content. In doing so, the company stayed ahead of the other nominees Amsterdenim, Body & Fit, Eurail and North Sails.
