No tears or long speeches

15th June 2009

Well, after working our fingers to the bone we are rather glad that some people really like our work, and want to give us some silverware to prove it.

IPA (The Institute of Practitioners in Advertising) has given us two awards in their Best of Health category.  Oh, and our work with NHS Barking and Dagenham was also highly commended at the AHC (Association of Healthcare Communicators) awards last week, leaving us feeling pretty pleased with ourselves.

Our work with NHS Barking and Dagenham, focused on engaging young people and adults with their health and wellbeing, has not only made a real difference to the lives of the local community but has also been acclaimed by health professionals and the creative industry, which is one of those wonderful win-win situations that make all the hard work worthwhile.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the awards for those of you who want to know about them in more detail, and for us to look at when we want to feel important:

IPA Best of Health Awards

•    BAD Health web site – Best New Media
