WEBWIRE

Butlins, one of the most famous brands in the UK, has had three publications nominated in the 2010 International Customer Publishing Awards run by the Association of Publishing Agencies (APA).

In the Best Travel & Leisure category, Butlins has been shortlisted twice - for Your Family magazine, produced by John Brown Publishing, and August Media’s Butlins Weekender ‘brozine’. The Butlins 2010 Family Brochure, also produced by August Media, has been shortlisted for Best Brochure of the Year and August Media editor Donna Hardie has received an Editor of the Year nomination for her work on Butlins Weekender.

Jae Hopkins, Butlins Brochure Manager, says; “This is brilliant recognition of the quality of our publications, and the way we communicate with our guests. It’s testament to the hardworking team at Butlins and how our publishers have succeeded in understanding our brand and guests.”

Mark Lonergan, Managing Director at August Media, comments: “This is our fifth year working on Weekender and our third with the Butlins Family Brochure. We are incredibly proud to work with such a fantastic organisation, together creating two extremely successful publications.”

Dean Fitzpatrick, Managing Director at John Brown Media, said: “Butlins is a great magazine to work on as there is so much affection for the brand, both from the people who work for the company and from guests. We’ve tried to build on this sense of enjoyment and community by taking readers behind the scenes, introducing them to team members, showing them what other guests love about Butlins and generally providing content that’s fun, positive, inspiring and reassuring.”
