On 23 March 2018, the Millennium Gloucester Hotel in London hosted a dedicated assembly of professionals for the Internal Communications Brilliance Awards. The evening served as a formal championing of the vital role that internal messaging plays in organisational success, celebrating those who serve as role models of excellence within the industry.

A Night of Celebration

The gala provided a prestigious platform to explore the “guidebook on what it takes to be extraordinary.” Beyond the dinner and networking, the evening focused on the core judging criteria: Clarity of Purpose, Focused Intent, Creative Flexibility, Resourcefulness, Effectiveness, and Cultural Value. Attendees gathered to celebrate successes that provide a showcase for how internal communications can act as an accelerant for business strategy and cultural transformation.

The 2018 awards specifically honoured the “Role Models of Excellence” across several specialized IC categories. The winners were selected for their ability to turn strategic intent into measurable business growth and enhanced engagement.

Congratulations to All Our Winners

We extend our sincere congratulations to every winner and finalist. Your commitment to transparency, creativity, and leadership continues to inspire the industry and set new standards of excellence for internal communications globally.
