Futerra was a proud winner of two IVCA Clarion Awards at the British Film Institute on Friday. The awards recognise best practice in communicating CSR, sustainable development, social inclusion and ethical debate.

We scooped the gongs in the Interactive Media and Strategic Communications categories for work done with BT & Business in the Community and Arup.

 

We’re especially pleased for our clients. As Solitaire put it - “having clients who understand and are committed to sustainability has played a huge part in winning the awards and the success is as much theirs as ours.”

Our BT Better Business Choices game was played live at this year’s BiTC conference as a board game and as an online version on BT’s website. The game challenges current and future leaders to build a business in scenarios with different sustainability challenges, choices and consequences. 

The Arup Delivering Sustainable Buildings e-training tool is an immersive, online learning experience for Arup engineers and architects. It was designed to help them understand the sustainability implications of building design and give them the confidence to discuss sustainability with clients.

The awards are not for profit, independently run and judged by peers in the communications industry, so it means a lot to have been recognised as winners amidst all the competition. 

The Clarions (now in their fifth year) are a truly refreshing experience, especially as award ceremonies can be braying, self-indulgent, competitive (not to mention long!) affairs. But the Clarions put partisan feelings to one side in order to celebrate and promote the role that communications can and must play in creating positive change. 

 

Our fellow winners formed a wide and impressive spectrum from the BBC, M&C Saatchi, Freud Communications & Aardman Animations to Liverpudlian Auteur Terence Davies, Leonard Cheshire Disability and the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust.
