Globe Trade Marketing Campaign Wins INMA Award
The Globe's "Hands" advertising trade marketing campaign received a prestigious gold award from the International Newsmedia Marketing Association (INMA). The award is for the Best Campaign for Readership/Usage of the Print Newspaper with circulation over 300,000.
“We are delighted to bring home this coveted industry award,” said Andrew Saunders, Vice President, Advertising Sales. “It’s a testament to the creative and innovative qualities core to The Globe brand. We are flattered that our industry peers responded to the bold and dramatic campaign developed by our creative agency BLACK with such accolades.”
Launched in October 2008, the Globe’s campaign is comprised of a series of striking black and white individual photographs featuring real life Globe and Mail newspaper, magazine and digital advertising clients, members of The Globe’s editorial team and The Globe’s advertising sales staff. The consistent visual element throughout the campaign is that all subjects display their bare hands printed with a key message. The visual device of hands is used to create a connection between clients’ needs and Globe team members who have a passion for their roles at The Globe and stand apart from the crowd.
The advertising creative was developed by Toronto ad agency BLACK, with photography by Curtis Lantinga Photography Ltd., media managed by Gaggi Media, and public relations by Environics Communications.
The award was presented at the gala dinner of the 79th Annual INMA World Conference in Miami. Ninety marketing campaigns from newspapers in 43 countries were selected as finalists for The INMA Awards 2009 competition.

Globe's Mental health series wins awards
The Globe and Mail's series on mental health was handed a national honour yesterday, receiving the College of Family Physicians of Canada Award for excellence in print reporting.
Entitled Breakdown and beginning in July, 2008, The Globe's series examined the issues around mental health, and those it affects in Canada.
It was announced as the winner of one of the 2009 Media awards for health reporting, given jointly by the Canadian Nurses Association and the Canadian Medical Association.
"The stories go beyond statistics and policies to explore the impact on those afflicted and their families, what is being done to help and, most importantly, how we can improve services to the mentally ill," Canadian Medical Association judge Lindsay Wilson said. "This is an important story, well-told."
The series has earned a number of accolades, including a special recognition award from the Canadian Psychiatric Association.
The CNA and CMA will present the awards at a gala at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Quebec, next month.
Additionally, The Ontario Psychological Association’s inaugural Media award “in recognition of excellence in reporting by an individual or organization in the media in the promotion and enhancement of public awareness of psychological health” has been won by The Globe and Mail for the Breakdown series.
In announcing the award, the OPA said “As psychologists, we are directly and only too aware of the impact of mental and emotional problems on the lives of individuals and their families. … We are also well aware of the ongoing stigma associated with mental illness and applaud the courage of The Globe and Mail in bringing this issue out of the shadows. … Your newspaper’s efforts in this regard have done much to highlight this important societal health problem and supports our own educational advocacy initiatives around the need for increased availability of and improved access to necessary services.”
