Celebrating The Freshest Creative Talent In The Magazine Industry
Last month, The British Society of Magazine Editors (BSME) Talent Awards were back for another exciting year! Celebrating Britain’s rising editorial stars. The annual ceremony for up-and-coming talent in the magazine and digital publishing industry was held at 100 Wardour Street, London.
The ceremony is one of the highlights of the BSME’s calendar, designed to celebrate editorial excellence and innovation across digital and print publications in the UK. A room full of creative minds, the top editors, creative directors, writers and journalists in the Industry were all in attendance. Gideon Spanier, BSME chair 2024 and UK editor-in-chief at Campaign, said: “The winners of the BSME Talent Awards 2024 deserve recognition for their brilliant journalism, creative flair and willingness to innovate.
“Encouraging and attracting new and diverse talent is vital for the future of the magazine industry, which is why these awards matter. “At the BSME, we believe in the importance of trusted journalism and its contribution to democratic life, so it is especially pleasing that Computer Weekly won Campaign of the Year for its work in helping to expose the Post Office scandal.”
Winners of The BSME Talent Awards on the night included Karl Flinders and Computer Weekly editorial team for the Post Office, Best Campaign. For Best Use of Social Media, the Which? TikTok team took the win. The event was hosted by Radio DJ for Radio 1, documentary and TV presenter, Sian Eleri and 2024 BSME chair Gideon Spanier, with DJ/Broadcaster Kennedy Taylor welcoming guests, and DJ Siggy bringing the evening to a close.
Not so Mellow Yellow
There is nothing mellow about the vibrant and bold yellow printed onto these sustainable bamboo column awards. Using pantone colour matching, EFX were able to create the awards in BSME’s recognisable yellow brand colour. We hope you agree how they POP in the photos! & the smiles they bring to the winners’ faces! A total of 25 brilliant teams, journalists and creatives were awarded a BSME Talent Award, with 3 Highly Commended entries.
The client had this to say on receiving their awards – “Thank you so much for our wonderful trophies… and for being always so brilliant and efficient. It’s always a pleasure to work with EFX.”
