Capital B Media shortlisted for a hat-trick of industry awards
19 July 2018
A South Yorkshire public relations and communications agency has been shortlisted for a hat-trick of prestigious industry awards.
Capital B Media has been named as a finalist in all three categories it entered for the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) PRide Awards for Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
The annual PRide awards, judged by a team of leading industry experts, recognise the outstanding work of PR agencies and in-house teams across the UK.
Capital B Media has been nominated in the Arts, Culture and Sport, and Low Budget Campaign categories for its work with Barnsley Museums to launch a national campaign to recruit a new flour miller at Worsbrough Mill in Barnsley. The campaign secured national TV, newspaper, magazine and radio coverage.
The consultancy has also been shortlisted in the Best Publication category for the production of a 20-page survey report for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association UK (PHA UK). PHA UK is a national charity which supports people affected by pulmonary hypertension, a life-limiting condition that affects the heart and lungs.
Capital B Media, which has its headquarters near Barnsley, is made up of communication specialists and former journalists. The agency also has a base at the Media Centre in Huddersfield. Clients include businesses, local authorities and national charities.
Kate Betts, director of Capital B Media, said: “This is a fantastic achievement and is down to the hard work of our talented team who should all feel incredibly proud.
“Last year we were lucky enough to be shortlisted for two CIPR awards and win gold for Best Publication, so to be finalists for three this year is a great feeling.”
Capital B Media, which was set up in 2006, also provides UK-wide media training and crisis communications services, with clients including the Care Quality Commission, The Pensions Regulator and Michelin Tyres.
The winners of the CIPR PRide awards for Yorkshire and Lincolnshire will be announced at a ceremony at The Queens Hotel in Leeds on 22 November.
