London, 22 June. The Corporate Engagement Awards, hosted last night in London, recognises excellence in communication strategies for partnerships, sponsorships, and corporate social responsibility.
Established in 2010, the Corporate Engagement Awards is a celebration of the indispensable talent companies and organisations have for effective communications in collaborations.
Highlighting the exemplary work existing across the corporate engagement sphere, particularly in CSR, the sixth annual awards considered partnerships from organisations across a whole host of industries and insights.
The ability of an organisation to excel in corporate engagement is a valuable asset to investors and consumers alike. With company engagement increasingly bound up within corporate trust values, creating and sustaining partnerships is beneficial to future company projections.
The planning, execution and effectiveness of these strategic collaborations is what the Corporate Engagement Awards aims to recognise and celebrate.
The ceremony was held at The Brewery, in Moorgate, Central London, and hosted by comedian and broadcaster Jon Holmes. A location befitting of the national status enjoyed by the Corporate Engagement Awards, The Brewery’s sophisticated atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop to a professional and enjoyable evening, celebrating the best in corporate collaborations and CSR.
Andrew Thomas, publishing editor, Communicate magazine, says, “It’s delightful to see so many brands embracing collaboration, at an event dedicated to bringing people together. The Corporate Engagement Awards is dedicated to those companies and organisations which help people collaborate and work in partnerships to achieve a brighter future. There’s good in business, and tonight we are celebrating it.”
