Conference News and its publisher Mash Media are celebrating winning two major awards at the PPA Independent Publisher Awards 2012.
Conference News picked up Business Magazine of the Year at the ceremony held at Vinopolis, London, last night (4 December).
The judges said: “Conference News has done a great job in distinguishing itself in a strong market by investing in new editorial, a radical redesign, and by increasing its profile across different digital platforms”.
Sister publication Exhibition World won the Launch/Relaunch/Innovation of the Year category and the magazine’s designer Sarah Garland was Highly Commended in the Designer of the Year category.
There was also a shortlisting for Mash Media’s Exhibition News in the Media Brand of the Year category.
Mash Media Managing Director Julian Agostini said: “The PPA Awards’ recognition for the hard work, innovation and talent of our editorial teams is really pleasing at a time when our journalists are leading the push to promote the power of events to the UK and world economy. We have invested in our brands and in our sector and it is satisfying to have this effort acknowledged by the independent publishers network which includes some of the most outstanding examples of entrepreneurial brilliance in the country.”
