Idealog—in the ideas business

Gongs for the gang

By Vincent Heeringa,

Unaccustomed as we are to chest thumping, please indulge us while we thank our wonderful staff, contributers, partners and supporters for helping us collect so many awards at the MPA Magazine Awards last night. HB Media, and AUT Media (publisher of this site and the wonderful magazine), won a third of all the awards given out.

For the record, we won:

  • Supreme winner, Cover of the Year: Adrian Clapperton for Idealog
  • Supreme winner, Designer of the Year: Adrian Clapperton for Idealog and Good

  • Idealog: Designer of the Year, Business (Adrian Clapperton)
  • Idealog: Best Use of Photography

  • Good: Best Launch or Relaunch
  • Inspire: Outstanding Sales Achievement of the Year (Ben Gibb and Sarah Yetton)

  • Inspire: Magazine of the Year, Custom Publishing

HB titles also received two Highly Commended mentions:

  • Inspire: Cover of the Year, Custom Publishing (best in category)
  • Good: Best Use of Photography

We're stoked, and have written a long essay about ourselves here at the coporate website of HB Media Global MegaPublishing Inc.

Thanks everyone and please join me in wishing all the team at Idealog, Good and Inspire my hearty congratulations.

Now, where's that Panadol.

Awesome work guys … you deserve every bit of this recognition!

The world is full of “sameness” and the magazine world is no exception. You guys have managed to break out of that boring pack, and have created a fantastic publication.

I started my subscription to Idealog about 1 year back, and eagerly look forward to every new issue.

For me, until now, you guys have been a “great product/brand”. However, your participation on Twitter is helping to take that connection to the next level, and join the extremely few “Lovemarks” in my world.

Well done.
