DStv’s Dish Premium Digital Magazine has garnered a GOLD Award for Best Web Publication, Digital, at the prestigious Custom Content Council Pearl Awards, held in New York City this month. The Council is the leading association for content publishing in the United States, and holds an annual competition to honour the industry’s best.
Published by South Africa’s leading content marketers, New Media, for MultiChoice, Dish was one of 638 entries in the awards programme, which saw top content publications entered from all over the world. This is the second Pearl for New Media: in 2010, Woolworth’s TASTE was awarded a BRONZE for best cover.
“We are honored to receive this award. It is a fantastic reward for a team that consistently produces excellent work. To be recognised internationally for our digital expertise is significant. It reflects that we are ahead in the digital landscape, not only in South Africa, but internationally too,” says New Media Group Account Director Maria Tiganis.
Dish Digital has transformed television highlights into an engaging and exciting experience, with beautiful imagery and rich content since its launch in July 2010, adds Nicci Brown, Promotions and Relationship Marketing Manager at DStv. “The New Media design and editorial team has succeeded beyond our expectations in developing this dynamic package, which highlights the best of the wide variety of programmes for DStv subscribers in a punchy, vibrant format and emphasises the premium nature of the brand. We are very excited to be part of this big win.”
“This award is recognition for the amazing work that the MultiChoice editorial and design team at New Media creates on a daily basis. We are constantly re-evaluating our position in the competitive publishing arena so that we keep on leading the way with innovation,” says New Media Content Director Chantal Thompson.
The Pearl Awards celebrate excellence in custom content across print, digital and other media platforms. Custom content providers – small and large, B2B and B2C, representing clients in a wide range of industries, and producing programmes across multiple outlets – participate in this highly competitive programme.
