The Guardian has been honoured with the ‘Brand of the Year’ award at the 2020 Campaign Publishing Awards.
Announced today (17 June) during a virtual ceremony, The Guardian was revealed as brand of the year in the consumer media/customer publishing category. The award recognises ‘bravery, editorial innovation, and the most strategically sound and forward-thinking brand in the sector’.
The Guardian won for its ability to drive purpose and sustainability initiatives in a chaotic business and news landscape, which, most recently, has included a new environmental pledge to Guardian readers, becoming the first major international news organisation to achieve B Corp certification and the decision to no longer accept fossil fuel advertising, as well as a range of editorial series, including Bias in Britain, The Empty Doorway, The Polluters and the BAFTA-nominated Anywhere but Westminster.
The Campaign Publishing Awards celebrate the best and most innovative companies and talent across the publishing and media industries.
