Awards: Time to shop for a new frock

It looks like Speed’s Holmes Report award for Best UK consultancy to work for was the first of many. We heard today that we’ve just won two Holmes SABRE awards, and have been shortlisted for two CIPR Excellence Awards.

Speed’s been awarded Bronze in the EMEA SABRE awards, 2009, bagging the Media placement: Television category and Best Blog, B2B and Corporate for our client Symantec.

Our Tesco Baby & Toddler Club Babysafe Campaign 2009 has also been shortlisted in the Industry Sector, Consumer Products category, the winner of which will be announced at the awards ceremony on May 26th. We’re so excited about winning the awards and being nominated, as this years EMEA region SABRE awards had about 2,000 entries from 28 countries.

Back in the UK we’ve also been shortlisted for two categories in the CIPR Excellence awards. Once for the consumer team’s hard work in making Tesco’s Baby & Toddler Club Babysafe Campaign 2009 a roaring success in the Corporate Social Responsbility category.

Regular visitors to Speed’s blogs and websites might also be pleased to learn that SpeedCommunications.com has been shortlisted in the Website, Microsite or Intranet category. We’re certainly thrilled.

What a day, and it’s only Tuesday. Time to shop for a new frock, Speed ladies.

Speed campaign shortlisted in CIPR awards

In 2005 Speed created the Tesco Baby & Toddler Club BabySafe initiative – a nationwide programme of seminars offering parents the chance to learn emergency first skills for free.  Since then, thousands of parents have learnt valuable lifesaving skills.   Highly rated by attendees – 100% would recommend the seminars to family and friends – we were delighted to hear yesterday that our work has been nominated in the prestigious Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Excellence Awards.

It’s the 25th year of the CIPR Excellence Awards and each year they recognise and reward best practice in public relations throughout the UK and acknowledge personal and team achievement at the highest professional level.  This year the Excellence Awards received over 750 entries across the 27 award categories – for a full list of award categories, visit the CIPR website (available later today).   Winners announced on 16 June – keep your fingers crossed for us!
