A little boost to our creative mojo...

It isn’t just the eskimosoup trophy cabinet that has received a boost recently as, with two award wins in the space of one week, the eskimosoup team seem to have an extra cheery spring in their step.

Last Thursday evening saw our very proud Managing Director John Gilbert and Creative Director Phill Postill take to the stage at the Association of Health Communicators and Marketing Annual Awards to receive an award on behalf of the team. The Highly Commended award for the UK’s Best Social Marketing Campaign was given to the life-saving campaign ‘Throat Wrecked? Get it Checked!” which eskimosoup helped create on behalf of the North East Yorkshire and Humber Clinical Alliance (Cancer). Working with the innovative organisation we were able to create a campaign that is hard-hitting and even encouraged behavioural change in those at risk.

Not only this but eskimosoup’s continued work in the health sector, was even recognised at a recent business awards ceremony. Our Account Director Rich Quelch was awarded ‘Young Achiever of the Year’ at the Hull Daily Mail Business Awards and was even noted for his impressive health and community work.

Rich has been involved with many health related projects while working at eskimosoup including his current role heading up a campaign called 'Smokes No Joke' in partnership with NHS Hull. The scheme sees him going into Secondary schools across the city to deliver presentations to pupils about the hazards of smoking. Although a somewhat challenging task he is passionate about raising the aspirations of young people and encouraging them into a much healthier lifestyle. The campaign has seen him deliver more than 70 presentations with each one receiving 100 per cent feedback from the schools and pupils involved.

As you can see from the looks of Phill and Rich modelling the awards we are proud and excited to be recognised in such a way and hope that our successes in the public sector continue to grow.
