INMA Awards: Hey Mumma, News is on a winner with APN ARM

May 24, 2017 at 04:18 am by Staff


Australian and Indian newsmedia companies have emerged the stars of this year's INMA Global Awards, presented in New York last night.

Three Australian publishers - Fairfax Media, News Corp Australia, and the former APN regionals business, now News Regional Media - were among only six worldwide to take more than one top award.

One of these, NRM's conversational multiplatform Hey Mumma - to promote OMO laundry liquid (pictured) - was judged best in the Asia/Pacific.

India's Jagran Prakashan won South Asia for The Gamification of Advertising Sales for Revenue Growth and global winner was Aftenposten.

Forty first-place initiatives honoured at the closing dinner of the 87th annual INMA World Congress of News Media at the Harvard Club, with awards presented by president Mark Challinor. All finalists and winners are highlighted in the Best Practices archive at INMA.org.

Normally, we'd summarise winners from India and the Asia Pacific, but this year, they're all the way through the list (below).

The 2017 competition generated 655 entries from 196 news brands in 36 countries. The competition - which recognizes companies energising brands, creating new products, growing, engaging, and monetising audiences, growing advertising revenue, developing customer insights, and instilling innovation -was judged by an international jury of 44 executives from 17 countries.

"Winning entries show a media industry growing comfortable with new ways of telling stories for readers and advertisers," says Earl Wilkinson, INMA's executive director and chief executive. "We have transitioned from the surprise of transformation to breakthrough creativity in the new ecosystems. INMA is privileged to play a role in surfacing these best practices from media companies worldwide."
The Best In Show award went to Schibsted-owned Aftenposten for #DearMark: How Aftenposten Stood Up Against Facebook, on Aftenposten's clash with Facebook over the late Nick Uts' picture from the Vietnam War. Regional winners were:
