Media Employer of the Year Awards 2010
On Wednesday 17th November Pathfinders celebrated their 12th annual Media Employer of the Year Award at the Soho Hotel in London. The Media Employer of the Year Award recognises and celebrates those organisations within the media sector who have developed innovative and successful people strategies.
Each year Pathfinders brings together an independent judging panel drawn from previous finalists as well as industry figure-heads and representatives from trade associations.
The 2010 Media Employer of the Year judging panel consisted of Fiona Joyce, Partner at Blue Rubicon and winner of the Media Employer of the Year Award 2009, Polly Barnes, Talent Director for BEcause Marketing and joint winner 2008, Jill Fear, Business Support for Cannes Lions and previously Professional Development Manager with IPA, Bruce MacRae, Managing Partner of Development of Talent and Elspeth Graham Commercial Director at the CIPR
“It is during tough economic times that companies show their true worth. And it was a real privilege to see the degree to which companies are willing to share their processes and the imagination and enthusiasm behind their programmes was a genuine breath of fresh air”
Jill Fear (Judge)
This year’s finalists, Addiction Worldwide, Grayling PR, Publicis UK Group, Porter Novelli and Shine Communications, sparked much debate and deliberation between the judges. Due to the high standard and quality of the nominations, it was no easy feat for the judges to reach a conclusion on our winner.
"The honesty and energy of the presentations was excellent and made the decision this year particularly difficult… Excellent examples of employers offering its employees the very best in opportunity, stability, stimulation and appreciation.”
