If there’s one thing we’re not short of at spotty communications, it’s an impressive set of awards in our display cabinet! We are so proud to have been recognised many times over the past 10 years as a award-winning PR agency and for the team’s hard work and determination on behalf of our portfolio of clients.
To date, we’ve won over 20 industry awards — from Best Use of Digital and Best Photography & Design for our work with clients to being awarded Consultancy of the Year five times by our industry bodies, PRCA and CIPR. Most recently, our joint entry with our client, Mitchells & Butlers, was selected by the BOC IC Brilliance Awards for the best use of technology in Internal Communications.
Every time award season comes around, we love to scout around for potential opportunities to get another award under our collar for us and our clients, so we’ve created a list of awards programmes that are not to be sniffed at.
