Hat-trick of Awards?

I'm excited! Astley Media are the only agency in Exeter, the only agency in Devon, to be shortlisted for 1...2...3 Chartered Institute of Public Relations PRide awards: Corporate and Business Communications Campaign of the Year, Not for Profit Campaign of the Year, and Outstanding Small Consultancy of the Year.

Small is good! Outstanding is good! We find out tonight (Friday Nov 17) whether we win. We're up against brilliant agencies who've been around a lot longer than us, so we must be doing something right.

So thank you team - you’ve been brilliant (as always) this year. Whatever happens at the award ceremony, well done. The awards cover the last 12 months, so that well done extends to Abi and Lisa too, who've moved on as they progress their careers but have been key parts of the Astley Media story.

Secondly, thank you to our wonderful clients. You're the ones who back us to do great work, create great campaigns, help grow your business.

And finally thanks to the companies involved in the campaigns that have been nominated - Andy, Hazel, Elaine and Martin at PSG Connect, and our Fast Track to Growth Partners: Aptus Recruitment, Barclays, Commissioning HR, Cosmic, Devon County Council, Francis Clark PFK, Logo, Sampson Hall, SetSquared and Stephens Scown LLP. It's all about collaboration - always.

Right, let's find out if I still fit into my dinner jacket, and can remember where I left the bow-tie and cuff-links...
