Outstanding Branding recently received the distinction of being awarded 1st Runner Up in the Promotional Merchandise category of the prestigious COGS Marketing Services Awards 2012.

This was the third year the awards ceremony, has been held, and took place at Vinopolis near London Bridge.  The COGS Awards were launched by The Institute for Promotional Marketing in 2010 to recognise and celebrate the achievement of companies committed to the delivery of fantastic marketing services.  More than 1500 marketers voted in the first round to produce a short list in 17 different categories, including Promotional Merchandise. 

Having received sufficient votes to be shortlisted as one of 5 companies in this category, Outstanding Branding were asked, along with the other nominees, to provide evidence of their success in three criteria: creativity and strategic thinking; innovation in client services; and success against all odds.  These submissions were then voted on by a panel of industry experts who were looking for evidence of outstanding achievement in each area.

“It was a fantastic opportunity for us to enter these awards,” says Managing Director of Outstanding Branding, Sarah Penn, “as they recognise all the areas we deliver to our clients as standard.  Creativity in product and service delivery is something all our clients require; innovation is key for us both in the services we offer to our clients and how we operate internally; and succeeding against all odds is an integral part of our ethos”.

“To be even nominated in this very competitive field was an honour; to receive an award was amazing, particularly knowing that it’s our clients who have nominated us in the first place.  I’m I’m hugely proud of all our team who have enabled us to succeed and receive the recognition of our peers within the industry.”
