The newspaper industry and government advertising campaign kept the public safe and nation united throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.
Today it was announced that the “All in, all together” advertising partnership is one step closer to winning a Media Week award.
The submission is shortlisted in the category ‘Media collaboration – Covid-19’, which is one of four new awards that has been introduced as a result of the coronavirus crisis. 50% of the proceeds from these entries will be donated to a good cause related to the pandemic.
When the shortlist was announced, UK editor-in-chief at Campaign Gideon Spanier said: “These are uniquely challenging and difficult times for everyone working in UK commercial media, so there is all the more reason to recognise and reward the great work, invention, collaboration and resilience that are the hallmarks of this industry.”
The “All in, all together” partnership brought together national and regional publishers from across the UK to deliver government communications in an intimate, human and compassionate tone that readers can relate to through cover wraps and sponsored content. Find out more about the campaign here.
In total 15 publisher campaigns have been shortlisted for this year’s awards – congratulations to everyone involved!
