The awards won by New Media included Best Internal Magazine (category B) for the title Inside Sanlam. The other Sanlam title, Impact, was runner-up in this category. Additionally, the agency also won Best Digital Publication for the work that it did for FNB Sync, and AB InBev took Best Communication Innovation.

Trudie Myburgh, who is part of the team, was honoured as a runner-up in the Editor of the Year category for her editorship of the Sanlam titles. This is the second year that Myburgh has been acknowledged in this category.

In 2018, FNB Sync, an enterprise social network app for FNB employees, was recognised as a leading innovation in the internal communications space with the Best Communication Innovation Award.

According to New Media, the fact that it was recognised this year as the Best Digital Publication shows the consistency with which it is providing excellence in the industry.

"Industry awards are always a strong affirmation," says Andrew Nunneley, New Media's director of brand strategy. "I believe our internal comms division is one of the best in South Africa; we constantly have our eye on global trends, and we do this with a solid footing in local industry research."

"Our internal comms team understands what works within our South African market and they work hard to apply it using global best practice," concludes Nunneley.
