SHORTLIST FOR THE CORPORATE & FINANCIAL AWARDS 2012 IS ANNOUNCED

The Corporate & Financial Awards 2012 has revealed its shortlist.

The Awards programme saw a variety of submissions from in-house communications professionals and their counsel exhibiting their communications strategies, campaigns or executions.

The projects were judged by a cross-section of experienced in-house practitioners, communication agency directors, analysts and business and financial journalists.

The Corporate & Financial Awards celebrates excellence in all aspects of city communication, and is the only true benchmark of companies’ communication with the City and its influencers.

The category winners will be revealed at a gala dinner on 15 May at The Light, Bishopsgate. A special announcement will also be made to honour the overall achievements of the Best in-house corporate & financial comms team and the Best IR agency or PR consultancy.

Andrew Thomas, founder of Communicate magazine, says: “The convergence of communication has seen a growing trend for companies to talk to investors, journalists and all stake holders will a single voice. This inaugural Corporate & Financial Awards event celebrates that the message is no longer siloed. We are delighted to see a range of work entered into the shortlist and offer many congratulations to all those who made the grade.”
