Since launching in 2018, the Corporate Content Awards have celebrated the use of narrative and storytelling techniques in corporate communications across Europe. Last year’s 'Best corporate storyteller' award was given to an organisation for the stories it told, while the prestigious Grand Prix was honoured for the way it told, and delivered, stories.

To build and maintain a solid corporate reputation, organisations must adopt precision, creativity, and diligence in its communications, across owned, earned and bought media. This year’s shortlisted entries include the use of social media, video, CSR partnerships, print, audio, blogs, internal communications and more.

Andrew Thomas, publisher of Communicate magazine and founder of the awards, says, “Companies make tangible relationships with their various stakeholders through the oldest method of communication - storytelling. This year’s entries showed a high standard of creative work and excellent results in the delivery of their content. Congratulations to those shortlisted.”

The awards ceremony will take place on 20 April 2022 at the Brewery in Central London. To book your place, visit the reserve a table page here or call the events team on +44 (0)20 3950 5356.
