“This win follows our immense success last year, where we were crowned ‘Best B2B PR Agency’ at the same awards, making this the first time one agency has walked away with both accolades.

“We are extremely pleased and proud of these achievements, which firmly cements our position as the number one B2B agency in the UK.”

At the B2B Awards, IAS also took home the gold award for ‘Best Integrated Campaign’ for its client The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) and the campaign ‘When it comes to the crunch...’

As well as winning ‘Best B2B Agency’ at the MIN’s, IAS received two commendations for the ‘Best Integrated Agency’ and ‘NW Agency’ of the year.

At the CIPR Awards, also held in Manchester, IAS b2b Public Relations took home three awards on the night. The agency won silver in the ‘Business and Corporate’ category for client Interbuild, the ‘Integrated’ category for client FMB and the ‘Internal Communications’ category for its own Total Immersion initiative.
