For the first time, the customer magazine of Heidelberger
Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) - "Heidelberg News" (HN) -
has been awarded gold in the "BCP - Best of Corporate
Publishing Awards", Europe's largest competition for
corporate publications, making the magazine by far the most
successful publication in the entire print media industry.
HN had already been awarded silver six times in Europe alone
in the previous years, and various gold and platinum medals have
come its way on the North American continent. In awarding the
magazine its latest accolade, the panel of judges explained their
decision with the following words: "Nominated last year and on
the winners' podium this year, Heidelberg News offers a deep
insight into the world of print technology. Complex
interrelationships are explained in simple terms, and the whole is
combined with clear and logical images and illustrations."
"Heidelberg News is a key element of our integrated
concept for addressing customers - a concept in which print
products play a central role and the focus is on a
partnership-based approach. We therefore see this success in the
BCP Awards as an incentive to continue pursuing this
strategy," says Adriana Nuneva, Head of Global Marketing and
Communications at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG.
In all, over 600 publications participated in the
competition. The award ceremony took place as part of the Corporate
Publishing Congress in Hamburg. As usual, the event was organized
by Forum Corporate Publishing e.V., which this time played host to
around 650 guests. This industry association presents the BCP Award
annually in collaboration with trade magazines acquisa, Horizont,
w&v, and Schweizer Werbewoche.
