Industry awards are an important measure of any company’s credentials and as the annual award season coming to a close, MEC can look back on2013 as our most successful ever year.
Building on MEC UK’s placing as the highest ranked media agency for the third consecutive year in the Sunday Times Best 100 Companies to Work For, our Manchester office has been crowned Agency of the Year at both the Prolific North Awards and the recent Mi Network Awards (a subsidiary of The Drum).
We’re immensely proud of these achievements as an agency, as well as the more specialist categories in which our work has been singled out. Our search team were awarded Best Use of Search for Finance at the European Search Awards and the MPA awarded us Best Use of Innovation, whilst also picking out our Insight Manager, Lisa Thompson, for the Rising Star award.
It was also hugely rewarding to win a Social Impact Award for our work with local primary schools and charity fundraising efforts across the last 12 months – the certificate takes pride of place on our reception desk.
We’ve also seen work from across the agency credited in a range of categories, with 20 separate shortlist credits for advertising strategy, SEO/Organic search, Inspiration, small budget campaign, consumer insight, best use of mobile and evaluation & research.
Here’s to more great work in 2014!
