Double Gold for Footprint!

We're delighted to announce that we struck gold: not once, but twice at this year's Chartered Institute of Public Relations Wessex PRide Awards!

The 'Oscars' of our industry, the PRide Awards set industry standards and are the only awards to showcase the best PR work being carried out across the UK.  The judging process is rigorous and conducted outside the region with a national panel of industry experts choosing the shortlists and winners.  Being shortlisted - even better winning one - is proof that our work has been judged to be amongst the best in the UK.  And we're thrilled!

Gold 1 - Corporate and Business Communications Campaign 2009 for Avery Green Office Week

This major category is one of the most sought after and hotly contested!  Up against three 'Goliaths' of the South's agency scene, we're delighted to prove, once and for all, that biggest doesn't always mean best!

Judges comments: "The excellent theme - Green office Week - gained media and audience attention.  Good 'stats' were supported from respected 'YouGov' survey and the campaign also engaged audiences via participation, as well as awareness.  Good use was made of budget in a well integrated traditional and new media campaign.  Effective in raising profile as a business brand looking to the future".

We were also a finalist for the same campaign in the Integrated Communications category.

Gold 2 - Outstanding Small Consultancy 2009

Katherine Stedman, Chair of CIPR Wessex comments: "A CIPR PRide Award is a hallmark of professionalism and success - it identifies, recognises and rewards the outstanding achievements of those working in the PR industry outside of London.  To win a CIPR PRide Award is a tremendous acheivement.  Vanessa and her team have been recognised consistently over the last three years which demonstrates that fantastic work and excellent value for money campaigns can be achieved by small teams".
