IOP earns top honors at the 2009 Vision Awards, with six Annual Reports lauded including one of the top 100 Reports of the year.
Ideas On Purpose had another banner year, with six Annual and Responsibility Reports honored in this year’s Vision Awards, sponsored by the League of American Communications Professionals (LACP). The reports honored included both Annual and Responsibility Reports for Pfizer, and Annual Reports for Tyco, Moody's, The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and the TB Alliance. Each report placed in the top of its category, with perfect scores across a wide range of competitive measures. IOP earned three gold awards, two silvers, one bronze and one book was included in the top 100 for the year. LACP managing director Christine Kennedy noted that the competition was especially tough with over 4,000 entries received from more than 25 countries, making the IOP achievement even more notable.
