Media Voices are delighted to reveal the winners of 2024’s Publisher Newsletter Awards, following a ceremony which took place on Tuesday 23rd July at The Union Regents, London.
The awards are a celebration of the newsletter success of publishers and media organisations, whether they’ve been in the space a while, or have just launched.
From over 130 entries and a strong shortlist of 100+ newsletters, our team of expert judges marked the newsletters on a range of factors, including editorial quality, how well the newsletter reflected the publisher’s brand, and strategies to grow the audience.
“If we’ve learned one thing from the time we’ve spent reading this year’s entries, it’s that newsletters are at the forefront of publishers’ efforts to bring their audiences closer,” said Awards Co-Ordinator Joanna Cummings. “The daily or weekly emails publishers send out are just the tip of the iceberg. Behind the scenes, newsletter teams are using data and experimenting with innovative formats to develop and deepen reader relationships.”
“There is both a science and an art to building loyal newsletter audiences. Across all the categories in this year’s awards, publishers are honing their newsletter skills to serve audience needs that other editorial can’t reach. Those publishers are rewarding readers with the highest quality content in exchange for access to their inboxes. And it has been a pleasure to reward the best of them in return.”
