Our social media activity is now award winning!

After a rather speedy taxi ride to the Oxford Belfry on Friday night the UoB digital team attended the CIPR PRide Awards (yes, the uppercase R is on purpose)! The evening was fantastic and we walked away with a Silver Award for 'Best use of Social Media'. A fantastic endorsement of the work that the digital team have put in over the last 12 months and hopefully enough of a reward to spur us all on to win again next year!

Congratulations to the team, we'll now need to find more space on the wall alongside our other awards!

It's awards time again!

So, the time of year is here again and the first round of awards and nominations are out. So, the first award...

The University of Bedfordshire has been awarded the Web Marketing Association's 'Standard of Excellence' award for beds.ac.uk. The Web Marketing Association was founded in 1997 to help set a high standard for Internet marketing and development of the best websites on the World Wide Web. The University received a score of 56 out of 70 (80%) putting us at a level higher than the industry standard.

...and that's not all! The University has picked up three shortlist nominations for the CIPR PRide awards 2010. The two digital awards are for beds.ac.uk and our staff site in.beds.ac.uk with the third nomination being for our internal publication 'Life'.

The CIPR award ceremony is at the end of November so i'll post up the results should we win!
