Die ganz besondere Auszeichnung: Public Relations des Jahres 2018

Posted by Catrin Beu on Mon, Dec 04, 2017 @ 04:00 AM

Ihre PR, Ihre Unternehmenskommunikation oder Ihre Investor Relations ist preiswürdig? Dann sollten Sie auch die Anerkennung bekommen, die ihnen dafür zusteht: zum Beispiel einen der begehrtesten Wirtschaftspreise Deutschlands, den German Stevie Awards.

Fraport AG und Klenk & Hoursch gewinnen bei den 3. German Stevie Awards

Geben Sie den Award-Kategorien für Unternehmenskommunikation, Investor Relations und Public Relations Ihr Gesicht. Bewerben Sie sich um die begehrte German Stevie-Auszeichnung. Sie selbst haben es in der Hand, einen Stevie zu gewinnen.

Die Bewerbungsphase läuft bereits auf Hochtouren. Zwei Teilnahmefristen müssen Sie beachten: Am 6. Dezember 2017 endet der erste Einsendeschluss mit der reduzierten Preisträgergebühr. Und am 24. Januar 2018 ist der finale Einsendeschluss.

Preisträgerbühr? Richtig, die German Stevie Awards berechnen für die Einreichung von Nominierungen keine Teilnahmegebühren mehr, sondern Preisträgergebühren. Der Vorteil für Sie: Sie können kostenfrei unbegrenzt viele Nominierungen in den verschiedenen Kategorien einreichen und zahlen die Gebühr erst, wenn Sie einen Gold, Silber und Bronze Stevie Award gewonnen haben. Die Preisverleihung findet übrigens am 27. April 2018 in Berlin statt.

Wenn Sie und/oder Ihr Team Herausragendes geleistet haben, bewerben Sie sich um den German Stevie Award.

Wählen Sie aus zahlreichen Award-Kategorien aus, etwa „PR-Agentur des Jahres“, „Kommunikationsteam des Jahres“ oder auch die „Kommunikations- oder PR-Kampagne des Jahres“.

Und wenn Sie sich nicht für eine Kategorie entscheiden können, bewerben Sie sich doch einfach in mehreren … Die vollständige Liste der German Stevie Awards für PR finden Sie hier.

Warum Sie sich jetzt bewerben sollten? Nun, viele unserer Gewinner berichten, dass ein German Stevie-Award sich sowohl im eigenen Unternehmen als auch nach außen positiv auswirkt, nicht zuletzt durch eine höhere Arbeitgeber- und Markenattraktivität.

Einer der Gold-Gewinner in den Award-Kategorien für Unternehmenskommunikation, Investor Relations und Public Relations war 2017 beispielsweise die Deutsche Telekom AG mit Sitz in Bonn. Sie nahm den Gold-Stevie für die „PR-Innovation des Jahres“ in Empfang. Die Content Factory ist die Antwort der Deutschen Telekom auf den Medienwandel als Folge der Digitalisierung. Sie ist als Reaktion auf die veränderte Mediennutzung und Kommunikationsgewohnheiten der unterschiedlichen Zielgruppen zu verstehen und räumt der nutzergetriebenen Kommunikation einen neuen Stellenwert ein. Ziel der Content Factory ist die integrierte Produktion und Verbreitung von Nachrichten und das nachhaltige Setzen von Themen („Agenda Setting“) für interne und externe Zielgruppen, wie Presse/Öffentlichkeit, Social Media-Nutzer und Mitarbeiter. Ein kurzes Interview im Rahmen der Preisverleihung sehen Sie hier:

Die „Kommunikationsabteilung des Jahres 2017“ stellt die Vodafone GmbH mit Sitz in Düsseldorf. Die Bewerbung im Volltext lesen Sie hier.  

Für die „Kommunikations- oder PR-Kampagne des Jahres - Gemeinschaftsangelegenheiten und Krisenkommunikation“ wurde die Fraport AG in Frankfurt ausgezeichnet.

Was die Kommunikationsagentur Fauth Gundlach & Hübl aus Wiesbaden sich ausgedacht hat, um die „Kommunikations- oder PR-Kampagne des Jahres - Low Budget (unter 10.000 EUR)“ auf die Beine zu stellen, erfahren Sie hier. So viel sei hier schon einmal verraten: Es geht um Golf …

A hole in one!

Fauth Gundlach & Hübl wins the Gold Stevie Award at the 2017 German Stevie Awards in the category “Communications or PR Campaign / PR Program of the Year – Low Budget (under €10,000).”

Fauth, Gundlach & Hübl gewinnen bei den 3. German Stevie Awards

Fauth Gundlach & Hübl is an owner-operated communications agency based in Wiesbaden, Germany. The sport of golf is firmly established in the Hessian capital, and that might be one of the reasons why the agency was given the lead in regional media relations work for the Final Four of the German Golf League (DGL).

It is much more likely, however, that Fauth Gundlach & Hübl impressed its customer, Deutsche Golf Sport GmbH, a subsidiary of the German Golf Association (DGV), with its core competency. Managing Director Lars Hübl explains: “We identify the subject matter and create suitable content for it, so that our customers can effectively communicate to their specific target groups. We provide consultation, bring ideas to life and implement them, and offer continuous support for communication-related questions. In doing so, we cover six competency fields: public relations, social media, content marketing, sponsoring communication, CSR communication and brand communication.” Among Fauth Gundlach & Hübl’s customers are international companies from various industries, companies from the Rhein-Main region and sports organizations.

In the public eye, golf in Germany continues to eke out an existence as a niche sport. The German Golf Association (DGV) represents 847 member clubs and facilities, with over 643,000 registered amateur golfers. With the KRAMSKI German Golf League presented by Audi (DGL), the association has had an attractive team competition system since 2013. Each year teams from the men’s and women’s top national league compete in a five-day Final Four tournament at a neutral golf course for the title “German Team Champion.”

The assignment for Fauth Gundlach & Hübl: use the Final Four 2016, in order to generate broader media coverage of the league. Lars Hübl: “In order to be able to generate broader media coverage, we had to considerably increase the basis of the media channels to be reached. Therefore, in addition to the classical golf media, our approach was to reach out to the sports desks of the regional and local media concerning the locations of the golf clubs that had qualified for the Final Four 2016.” To make the topic more interesting, the agency offered the editorial offices personalized stories about the respective teams. In addition, the editorial offices received written topic suggestions and were subsequently contacted by telephone.

“We have clearly achieved the goal of expanding the media coverage of the DGL’s Final Four with the campaign. Altogether more than 100 clippings – for example print, online and radio – were achieved in regional and local media,” summarizes Hübl. “Despite the low budget, Fauth Gundlach & Hübl has helped to increase the media coverage of the Final Four tournament by working with regional media outlets. The regional references and the storytelling approach have contributed significantly to the media success. At the same time, we have established contacts that can be used for coverage of future golf events. The basic approach can be used over and over again, even for changing participants and venues.”

As a reward for the project “Hole-in-one: regional media relations for the Final Four of the German Golf League,” the company won a Gold Stevie in the category “Communications or PR Campaign / PR Program of the Year – Low Budget (under €10,000).” The Stevie Award in gold arrived just in time for the agency’s 10th anniversary. What began in 2007 has grown within ten years into a motivated and harmonious team of 12 employees.

Posted by Catrin Beu on Wed, Sep 09, 2015 @ 10:25 AM

Sie tun Gutes? Und reden darüber? Dann sollten Sie sich um einen German Stevie Award in der Kategorie Public Relations bewerben …

Georg-Volkmar Graf Zeitwitz-Arnim ist zwar kein Preisträger eines German Stevie Awards, aber immerhin der (mögliche) Erfinder des obigen Spruches. Bereits 1961 veröffentlichte er sein Buch mit dem Titel „Tue Gutes und rede darüber“, der zum geflügelten Wort für Public Relations geworden ist - und nach wie vor sehr aktuell zu sein scheint, wenn man bedenkt, wie oft er zitiert wird …

Wenn Sie also gute PR machen, dann klicken Sie doch einmal hier drauf. Dann öffnet sich die Website der German Stevie Awards mit allen Kategorien, auf die Sie sich in den Bereichen Unternehmenskommunikation, Investor Relations und Public Relations um einen der begehrten Wirtschaftspreise bewerben können.KetchumPleon_2015.jpg

Bleiben wir streng bei der Public Relations, dann suchen wir beispielsweise die PR-Agentur des Jahres, die Führungskraft des Jahres im Bereich PR oder auch        
die PR-Innovation des Jahres. Diese Kategorie würdigt einzelne Innovationen in der Kommunikationspraxis, -forschung, -technologie oder -management.

Ausgezeichnet werden auch die PR-Kampagnen bzw. PR-Programme des Jahres - und dies gleich in mehreren Unterkategorien wie zum Beispiel:

  • Gemeinschaftsangelegenheiten: Verbesserung der Beziehungen zwischen der Gemeinschaft und der Sponsoring-Organisation
  • Krisenkommunikation: Reaktionen auf ein ungeplantes Ereignis, das sofortiges Handeln erforderte
  • Globale Angelegenheiten: effektive globale Kommunikation zwischen mindestens zwei Ländern, wovon eines davon Deutschland sein muss
  • Ethno-PR / Multikulturelle PR: Ansprache einer bestimmten Kulturgruppe
  • Reputationsmanagement/Brand Management: Verbesserung des Images einer Organisation und/oder Vorstellung ihrer öffentlichen Programme
  • Social Media basierte PR: hauptsächliche online-Umsetzung durch die Nutzung sozialer MedienGemeinschaftsangelegenheiten: Verbesserung der Beziehungen zwischen der Gemeinschaft und der Sponsoring-OrganisationKrisenkommunikation: Reaktionen auf ein ungeplantes Ereignis, das sofortiges Handeln erforderte

Wolfram WinterManager des Jahres im Bereich Kommunikation, Investor Relations und PR und damit Gold Stevie Winner 2015 ist übrigens Prof. Wolfram Winter, Executive Vice President Communications, Public Affairs & Ad Sales und Geschäftsführer der Sky Media Network GmbH, einer hundertprozentigenTochtergesellschaft von Sky Deutschland. Nicht zuletzt ihm ist zu verdanken, dass Sky seinen Ruf eines dauerhaft erfolglosen Unternehmens abstreifen und sein Image nachhaltig verbessern konnte.

So bewerben Sie sich

スティービーアワーズ受賞者から聞くアジア太平洋地域での成功ノウハウ

Posted by Clara Im on Fri, May 02, 2014 @ 04:19 AM

describe the image

ウィーバー・シェンドウィックアジア太平洋は2013年国際ビジネス大賞で二つのスティービー金賞を受賞しています。北京事務所が中国マクドナルドのためのアプリ製作でアプリアワーズを、シンガポール事務所がコミュニティー関係キャンペーンでPRアワーズを獲得しました。（2014年国際ビジネス大賞参加者受付中です。エントリーキットをどうぞ。）

ウィーバー・シェンドウィック北京のインライン戦略副会長であるサイモン＝タンさんは、アジア太平洋地域での商品・サービス広報のために必要な戦略を語ってくれました。


顧客との関係を築く 

タンさんはこう切り出しました。「アジア太平洋全域、特に中国マーケットで、ソーシャルメディアとモバイルアクセスはとても重要なキーポイントです。会社としては、モバイル戦略を後回しにするより、事業の最初段階で一緒に構想しておくべきだと思います。専用アプリを開発するなり、WeChatやLine、Weiboなどのソーシャルメディアモバイルコンテンツを製作するなりです。モバイルデバイスでのブランド特化コミュニケーション経験によって、常に変化を遂げている「オンラインライフ」世代の要求を満たさねばなりません。

タンさんはこう続けました。「最近は沢山の顧客が、WeChatやWhatsAppなどを通して会社と１：１コミュニケーションしたいと考えます。会社側としても、顧客と他愛無い会話を重ねることで、彼らについてもっと学べる機会になるはずです」

 

顧客献身

ウィーバーシェンドウィックのアプリ分野スティービー賞受賞エントリー作である、「オリンピックアプリ・青春とともに金メダルを目指す」は、代行社がソーシャルメディアを用いてクライアントであるマクドナルドの青年市場アクセスを手助けした、完璧な事例と言えます。

タンさんは、スティービーアワーズは業界の主要なアワーズであると考えます。「受賞事実はとても誇らしく、嬉しく感じています。我々の顧客献身、チームの技術、そして成し遂げた成果を証明してくれたのですから」

ウィーバーシェンドウィックチームは、マクドナルドのアプリ製作がとても楽しかったと話しています。「このアプリは中国のオリンピックファンたちと良き関係を築き、彼らの情熱を身近に感じ取れるきっかけになりました。スティービーアワーズ受賞は、我々が今後のキャンペーンのためにどのようなモバイルアプリを作るべきなのか、またどうやって顧客を引き寄せ、違いを生み出す新しいアプリを作るべきかに対する限界を通り越すために、力強い応援になりました」

 

北京散策

絶え間なく変化を遂げ続ける「オンラインライフ」人口の一人として、タンさんは語りました。「北京ではタクシーを捕まえるのにいつも一苦労します。なので私は、WeChatの総合支払システムとともに、Dididache（嘀嘀打车）を好んで使います。」北京でのビジネスをお考え中なら、この情報は重宝するかもです。

 

歴史的な変化

タンさんの未来様相図もお聞きすることが出来ました。彼はアジア太平洋地域に無限の可能性があると言います。「或る人は、中国には革新がないと言いますが」とタンさんは切り出しました。「それは大間違いです。現に中国には沢山のスティービーアワーズ受賞者がいる。我々はもうすでに、アジア太平洋地域が様々な変化のリーダーとして活躍する場面を目撃しました。そしてこれからはもっと多くなります。」

 

サイモン＝タンは誰？
サイモン＝タンさんはウィーバー・シェンドウィック北京のインライン戦略副会長である。彼はデジタルから伝統的方式の広報チームに至るまで、オン・オフライン両方で顧客と広告ターゲットを魅入らせる統合マーケティングとメディア戦略を監督する戦略的方向を提示する。彼のデジタル分野での10年間の経験は、高速移動消費財・金融・小売・旅行・テクノロジーバーティカル分野を含み、有料サーチ・ソーシャルメディア・展示メディア購入・表面広告そしてクリエイティブコンテンツ生産まで網羅する。タンさんとは現在クライアントとしてマクドナルド、ユニレバー、マイクロソフト、カリフォルニアウォルナッツ、オーシャンスプレイなどがビジネスをしている。

ウィーバー・シェンドウィックより前、タンさんはMindshare NYでSAPのためのグローバルアカウントと、全てのユニレバーブランドの北米地域を監督するグローバルリサーチディレクターであった。ユニレバーのため、彼のチームはソーシャルメディア、コミュニティ運営、影響力のある顧客との関係作り、2010年最高のファンページを率いたフェイスブックをはじめとするユニレバー統合マーケティングプログラムを作って、実行した。タンさんはまた、ユニレバーの北米デジタル革新理事会でサーチングとデジタルメディア戦略のための全てのブランドの諮問委員として招待された。

サイモンはビーポンの年間アジアソーシャルメディア会議 (BeaPon’s Annual Asia Social Media 　Summit)、2012年北京政府情勢フォーラム（the Beijing Government Affairs Forum 2012)、SES中国、SESロンドン、OMSニューヨークを含む様々な国際コンファレンスで発表しており、ニューヨークジークリン経営学部の招待講師も勤めた。タンさんはテッドエックス北京のボランティアであり、コロンビア大学でMBAをとっている。

 

ウィーバー・シェンドウィックって何？
ウィーバー・シェンドウィック は８１カ国家にオフィスを構えたリーディンググローバル広告会社である。会社の企画・戦略・分析・製作・デザイナー・開発・広報チームなど様々なチームが彼らの革新的かつクリエイティブなアプローチと、影響力のある業務成果を評価され、世界で最も栄誉あるアワーズを受賞したと言える。会社はコンシューマーマーケティング、企業評判、健康管理、技術、公共政策、金融サービス、企業の社会的責任、財政コミュニケーション、リスクマネジメントなどの全フィールドで分野を跨ぐ自社開発ソーシャルデジタル分析法を効果的に活用している。ウィーバーシェンドウィックはインターパブリックグループ（NYSE:IPG）の子会社である。公式サイトはこちら。 http://www.webershandwick.com .

There is no eligibility timeframe for web site entries - it does not matter when the web sites were first published.

If you can't make the 15 May entry deadline, late entries will be accepted through 12 June with the payment of a late fee per entry. Results will be announced on 14 August.

Because the 2013 awards banquet will take place on 14 October in Barcelona, Spain, all organizations in Spain may submitted an unlimited number of entries to the IBAs free of charge this year. Organizations in Spain should submit the promotion code "Barcelona" where indicated in the online entry process to have their entry fees waived.
