Gold in the Best Event category for our Better Together campaign with npower Business Solutions (nBS).
Silver for Integrated Campaign and Low Budget Campaign (both The Talent Track with CWE Ltd.)
Silver for Best Use of Content (A Voice on the Future of Energy with nBS)
Silver for Best Long-Term Client Care (An Extraordinary New Approach to Marketing for Mobica)
The CIPR PRide Awards are the leading regional PR industry awards, recognising the outstanding work that PR professionals deliver across the UK.
The award-winning PR Consultancy of the Year entry covered a wide range of criteria, including budget, results and relationships with our fantastic clients. The Gold award recognises our substantial achievements and continued growth.
As a green agency, we were delighted that the judges recognised the Pod’s “serious dedication towards maintaining the ethical reputation of the agency”. Our overarching aim is to grow sustainably, working with clients who share our values and prioritising the wellbeing of our team.
Commenting on our winning entry, the judges also noted the “substantial success of the agency, steady growth and confidence in operations and impressive earnings.”
The Better Together campaign for nBS, which won Best Event, brought employees back together following the Covid lockdown. The judges remarked: “A well-planned event. The theme and activity engaged well with employees. The build-up activity, awards and fun activities ensured positive feedback and shared memories. Great job.”
