WDAD picks up GRAMIA
WDAD won the Diamond Gramia for the best recruitment campaign at The Grocery Advertising & Marketing Industry Awards, held at The Brewery on October 2nd. The winning work was for the Whitbread Group, which took the prize ahead of entries from Sainsbury's, Pepsico and Ecolab.
NORAs
The National Online Recruitment Awards will be presented in London on 13th November and finalists in each of 10 categories have been announced, including best general jobsite, best niche jobsite, and best online recruitment section by a consumer publication. The "best employer's website" category caught our eye, where Marks & Spencer, Mitchells & Butler and Vodafone will be battling it out with Innocent Drinks and an IT recruitment consultancy, GCS Recruitment. (Amusingly, the GCS home page opens with the statement "Recuitment (sic) is a sales focused, dynamic industry ..." but doubtless this will be corrected before final judging.) Click here for details.
Ri Fivers presentation
The quarterly presentation of Ri Fivers will take place on 20th October at the IET's Savoy Place headquarters when, once again, winners, clients, judges and sponsors will enjoy the superb hospitality and peerless panoramic views of the Riverside Room. If you work in any aspect of creativity in recruitment communications you are welcome to attend the event - all you need to do is let us know you are coming - awards@ri5.co.uk
