IOIC Award Winners

There’s nothing quite like recognition from your peers to give you pride in the work that you do.

On Friday night, we had some excellent news when the Institute of Internal Communication (IoIC) named one of our newsletters Class Winner in the Ezine Category for Best Use of Digital Media at their National Awards and gave another of our publications an Award of Excellence.

You may have seen from our earlier blog post that the same title won the Central Region Award in February – that was fantastic, but to be named the best in the UK alongside the top names in communication in the country is an outstanding honour and achievement.

The interactive monthly newsletter – Vision – was developed in conjunction with the internal communications team at Kantar Operations, as a key tool for its Worldwide CEO, Sharon Potter, to communicate with staff based in the UK, North America and India about the direction of the business. The newsletter also goes out across the wider Kantar group of companies.

The judges said that they were impressed with the level of interaction and creativity in our innovative newsletters. It is also a real testament to our relationship with the client at Kantar Operations – Vision is a product of real team work.

Our charity ezine Bright that we produce for Kantar’s Brighter Futures initiative to raise US$1m for UNICEF was also highly praised by the judges and picked up an Award of Excellence. It’s a fantastic interactive publication that we produce with a great team at Kantar. The only shame was that it was in the same category as Vision – and there could only be one Class Winner!

It was a glamorous affair with several hundred of the leading communicators in the country at a lavish ceremony at the London Hilton Park Lane presented by TV broadcaster Fiona Phillips. As well as the win, it was just a wonderful night, celebrating with great people from Kantar, Kantar Operations, and UNICEF.

And to top it all off, England beat Sweden in Euro 2012 – what a night!
