Considering both printed and online creative solutions, these awards are designed to show how creativity can be used to engage a customer with a brand in the most compelling way. Chosen by a select panel of senior creatives and industry experts, the awards demonstrate the ever increasing levels of innovation and passion at work within customer publishing, providing the necessary excellence and wow factor for some of the world’s most famous brands.

The main media sponsor of the awards is Campaign, the leading magazine which represents and supports the creative talents of the media industries. The evening comprises a stand up drinks reception followed by an informal stand up awards ceremony.
