We are celebrating as we continue our record-breaking run as most awarded internal communications agency with another 13 Awards of Excellence from the Institute of Internal Communications (IoIC).
The announcement from the Institute brings our total awards haul to more than 60 over the past five years alone.
AB is the UK’s longest established internal communications agency and has consistently won awards every year since it was founded in 1964.
We specialise in designing communications for large, dispersed workforces and complex organisations undergoing change. This year, the IoIC judges recognised our work with Royal Mail, Transport for London, Hitachi Rail, KPMG and new clients – Arriva Rail.
AB’s managing director, Katie Macaulay, said: “The secret to producing award-winning work is having a trusted partnership with clients where we push boundaries and innovate together.
“Win or lose, we use the feedback from judges to continuously improve what we do. Over the years, having our work peer-reviewed by judges has become one of the many ways we evaluate our success.”
