NME wins Chairman’s Award at magazine industry bash
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 21 June 2013
The Professional Publishers Association, a trade body for the wild and wacky world of magazine publishing, presented its annual awards earlier this week, and handed a brand new gong called the PPA Chairman’s Award to the NME to recognise the six decades that the magazine – sorry, the “multiplatform music brand” – has now been operating.
Accepting the prize, the IPC exec who currently oversees the music weekly (and all its multiple platforms of branded goodness), Tracy Cheesman, told CMU: “It’s a real honour to have been given the PPA Chairman’s Award – particularly in its first year. I’m incredibly privileged to work with some of the brightest, most passionate and undoubtedly most creative people in music media today and it’s their big picture thinking, insane work ethic and unrivalled passion for the brand that has made NME the multi-platform brand success that it is in 2013”.
“NME celebrated its 60th birthday last year and 60 years on, we’re still at the forefront of music culture – setting agendas, instigating debates and championing new and exciting artists of all genres. Today, our audience is bigger than it’s ever been and in the coming months, we look forward to unveiling a series of new and exciting brand developments”.
