Nine PR & Social Media Awards In The Last Six Months

Two Golds and one Silver at last night’s CIPR PRide Awards took our trophy count to nine in the last six months.

The Umpf team collected the top gong for the Best Use of Media Relations.  The award was for our Winter Wellness campaign for Bupa Care Services. Judges said: “Umpf showed a high level of creativity,” adding that, “This was a tough category to win!”.

We also collected Gold for Best Use of Social Media. The CIPR said our BBC Good Food Show campaign for Belling was “Overall, a fantastic, well thought through social campaign.” (See blog cover image.)

In the same category we also won a Silver for our East Coast trains social media campaign on the Sky TV ten-part documentary.
