Winners announced for Newsworks Planning Awards 2015

Newsworks has announced the winners of its 2015 Planning Awards, chosen by a jury of 14 client and agency judges, led by Jan Gooding, group brand director at Aviva.

A party at the Century Club in London last night celebrated the record 94 entries from 23 agencies, covering 62 brands, says Newsworks.

Jan Gooding, group brand director at Aviva and chair of the 2015 jury, said: “These case studies demonstrate the best thinking in the business and the ways in which newsbrands are being used to achieve great results. It’s safe to say that creativity and clever thinking is alive and well. Congratulations to the winners – you’ve beaten unbelievable competition and should be extremely chuffed with yourselves!”

Rufus Olins, chief executive of Newsworks, said: “It was heartening to see such high standards this year. Clients and agencies are finding richer and more ingenious ways of working in partnership with newsbrands, as you can see from the shortlisted, highly commended and winning entries.”
