Frontier Public Relations scoops Golden Hedgehog Award

Agency wins Best B2B Campaign for Progress

Frontier Public Relations picked up the award for Best B2B Campaign in the Northern region of the Golden Hedgehog awards at the Etihad Stadium last week (28th February), after having also been shortlisted for Best Integrated Communications for the campaign Progress: Leadership in Housing and their work with client Mobysoft.

The categories were hotly contested, with two other campaigns shortlisted for Best B2B campaign and seven nominated in the Best Integrated Communications category. Featuring 28 categories which are judged by a panel of 34 industry experts, the Golden Hedgehog awards celebrate excellence, outstanding campaigns and talent in the PR and Communications industry.

Established and managed by Frontier PR, Progress – Leadership in Housing is a series of leadership forums aimed at senior decision makers within social housing.  Sponsored by Mobysoft, Progress continues to provide a platform for discussion and debate on topical issues, hosting events in London, Manchester, Yorkshire and Staffordshire to date, with further dates in London and the South West set for March. In 2012, the campaign was also nominated for two CIPR PRide awards.

David Innes-Edwards, Managing Director of Frontier PR, said: “All of us at Frontier PR are overjoyed that we have won an award at the Golden Hedgehogs. Matthew and I had a great time at the awards, and we are very pleased that our work in the Social Housing sector is being recognised, as with Progress we seek to be at the forefront of this rapidly changing industry.”

David continues: “Progress has delivered on so many levels for the various stakeholders involved, including the sponsors Mobysoft and each host housing provider. Progress exemplifies intelligent, integrated communications at its best, delivering value for all involved and measurable return on investment for our client.”

Matthew Gardiner, Head of Services at Mobysoft, said:  “Mobysoft is proud to continue its work with Frontier PR on the award winning Progress: Leadership in Housing Campaign. As we are at the forefront of our industry, it is fantastic that we have a way to make sure that we stay up to date with the issues that face housing providers in such uncertain times.”
