Month: July 2017

It’s been a good morning so far. The shortlist is out for the UK Public Sector Communications Awards for 2017 and we’re really chuffed that DTW has been shortlisted for five awards.

We’re in good company with some great public sector campaigns from up and down the country over the past year also shortlisted. Public sector communications in this country is literally the best in the world so those judges have been busy!

For this of you who might be interested in the detail, we’ve been shortlisted for the following:

Best Use of Video – for our work with and for Sunderland Council on the New Wear Crossing Project (you can see all the video work on the project’s youtube playlist – it is something we’re really proud of actually – took a lot of planning and some very clever camera and drone work)

Best Media Relations – again for our work with Sunderland City Council on the New Wear Crossing Project and also for our campaign work with Road Safety GB North East, which is helping them save lives on the region’s roads

Partnership Engagement Initiative of the Year – again for the Look Out for Each Other campaign for Road Safety GB North East

Public Spirited Agency of the Year – very pleased for the recognition for the whole of #TeamDTW – together the team does some really cracking stuff for some great clients.

The awards evening and associated conference is down in that London on 6 September. Here’s hoping….

Thanks for reading

We’re having a good year. First, we’re ranked by PR Week in May 2017 as the number one public sector agency across the north of England, now we’ve been named as one of the top 50 PR agencies in the north by Prolific North.

The top 50 starts with an initial longlist of over 200 PR agencies to be based in or have offices in the North, and then drilled down in more depth on the accounts of around 120 agencies. Those 120 then get whittled down to the top 50, of which DTW has been named.

Chris Taylor, our Managing Director said: “I’m very pleased and proud to be named by Prolific North this year – #TeamDTW works incredibly hard to get the best results for our clients and this is a reflection on that”
