Immediate Media, the special interest, content and platform company, has been named Consumer Digital Publisher of the Year at this year’s AOP Digital Publishing Awards.
The award recognises the business which has demonstrated outstanding achievements across all its brands and publishing activity in the consumer sector. Entrants needed to provide evidence of a strong strategic vision, innovation across a portfolio of publishing brands, and a clear achievement against objectives.
The judges praised Immediate for exemplifying “successful digital publishing, delivering brands of real soul, and for a dynamism that is supported by expertly pursued multi-layered business models.”
Tom Bureau, Immediate Media CEO, said: “Over the last few years we have transformed our business model, and the understanding of what a magazine media business can achieve. We’ve invested in new digital marketplaces, our ecommerce proposition and, more recently, in TV shopping.
This has been underpinned through our strategic focus on creating a unified, agile technology platform to benefit all our brands, to deliver world-class content and services wherever our consumers need them: on mobile, on the web, in print, on TV or at live events. I am delighted Immediate has been recognised by the industry for our achievements and it is a testament to the talent of our people across the company.”
