IAS has a winning start to 2010

29/04/10

IAS b2b Marketing, the UK’s leading B2B agency, has started the 2010 awards season with a bang, taking away an impressive five awards at the Drum Marketing Awards last week; more than any other company.

The raft of awards continue the agency’s winning streak, which last year saw it take home no less than three ‘agency of the year’ awards, consolidating its position as the UK’s number one B2B agency.

The Drum awards, which took place at the Ramada hotel in Manchester, last Thursday night, saw IAS receive the Internal Marketing Strategy award for its work with recycling and waste management company, Veolia Environmental Services. IAS, who could only be beaten by itself, was also awarded a commendation in the same category, for its own internal marketing campaign, Total Immersion.

Further consolidating the sterling work carried out on the Veolia account, the team also went on to win the best Large Client Company of the Year award. In addition, IAS took the gong for the best Direct and Promotional Strategy, for its work with the Federation of Master Builders.

In recognition of such fantastic work, the agency was also awarded a commendation in the Marketing Services Company of the year category.

Rob Morrice, managing director at IAS, commented: “The Drum Marketing awards are one of the first of the season, and also one of the most prestigious, so to take home five awards is a fantastic achievement and will hopefully set the tone for the year.

“And we certainly have had a great start not only winning all these awards, but also seven new accounts. With a great portfolio of clients and a dedicated, award-winning team to match – it’s no surprise that we’re in such high demand with the UK’s leading B2B brands.”
