The cream of the UK’s internal communication profession were recognised as the winners of the IoIC Awards 2016 were announced at the historic Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London.
Hundreds of communicators and guests gathered at the historic venue to celebrate and recognise the best in the business at Europe’s oldest awards for the industry.Institute chief executive Jennifer Sproul said the awards had been running for 62 years and the event was designed to “celebrate the good – and the downright amazing – in internal communication today.”
The Gold Award winners – the ‘crème de la crème’ – were the pinnacle of the evening and these three top trophies went to the British Heart Foundation/Wardour Communications (Print), HSBC (Digital) and Reward Gateway (Campaign).
As well as the 36 class winners, announced at the venue by ‘the voice behind the Lottery numbers’ Alan Dedicoat, many more entries received Awards of Excellence. IoIC awards chair Justine Stevenson said: “This year’s entries were of an incredibly high standard. Class winners and award of excellence winners can truly celebrate ‘greatness’ and be proud of their achievement.”
