Ladies and Gentlemen! It is our pleasure to inform you that during the Szpalty Roku 2014 Gala our customers were invited on stage many times to receive awards and congratulations for our joint publications and projects. Some of them entered the stage several times! It was quite a chance to train the whole range of smiles for news photographers: at first shy ones, then slightly bigger, to finally come to a big cordial smile. We have immortalized the fact for future generations!

And so there were smiles…

..Netia smile
Magda Bugajło and Arek Grochala of Netia were sending a smile to the audience as many as seven times. First, they gave a big smile for the Gold Szpalty for “@mazing” printed magazine, followed by the joy of receiving Silver Szpalty for the publisher of the e-magazine, later a burst of enthusiasm, when the the Best Cover of the Year title

in the magazines category went to… “@mazing.” Just when they thought they can get back to their seats and stop training Hollywood smiles, they were called back on stage to receive… Gold Szpalty in the strategy and implementation category for “daring communications on a difficult subject of promoting values,” Brown Szpalty for the publication “Netia. The first decade” for creating knowledge about the beginnings of the company, and the audience award for the Best Cover of the Year in the one-time publication category for “Netia. The first decade.” Last but not least, sponsor of the competition, Optizen Labs, awarded Netia for its e-magazine “@mazing.”

…Provident smile
We could enjoy three times the broad smile of Communication Department in Provident. First,  Agnieszka Zyśk-Pożoga gave us a smile on receiving a honorable mention for the magazine “Nasz Provident” for its consequent visual development. Then, accompanied by Anna Kulawik, she gave a big smile on receiving Brown Szpalta in the Strategy and implementation category for unique solutions used in implementing the strategy “Provident – The future is now.”

We also saw Łucja Jabłońska and Rafał Mikołajczyk smiling. No wonder – they received Gold Szpalty for the online advising portal for Provident customers.

…ING smile
We saw a broad smile on the face of Anita Buczkowska of ING, accepting Brown Szpalty for the CSR report “Socially Responsible” by ING Bank Śląski, for its brave layout (see photo). But that wasn’t the only award for ING. This year one of the finalists in the competition was “Baśka”, magazine for the employees of ING Bank Śląski. The award was handed in to cordially smiled Anna Waśniowska.

…Raiffeisen smile
Another person that could not resist the temptation to smile was Sławomir Czajkowski of Raiffeisen Polbank – the bank debuted in the magazines for employees competition and immediately won Gold Szpalty for its e-magazine “Connect” “for its interesting interactive form and the use of technological potential.”

…Żywiec smile
Ewa Krystowska and Magdalena Brzezińska gave a beautiful smile when thanking for Brown Szpalty for “Biromaniak” magazine, for “adjusting content to readers and engaging employees in the communication process.”

… Jurors’ smile
Do not get deceived by that happy look, the jury may not seem serious, but they are very demanding. “We did not award projects that were as good as last year. They had to be better,” says head of the jury, Jacek Wasilewski. Photo: other jurors, not always complying with the main juror: Jacek Piotrowski and Rościsław Szwedow.

… Opel smile
“Opel Post” – e-magazyn for the employees of Gliwice-based Opel production plant, has brought a smile of content on the faces of jurors with the way it reaches employees and was awarded a honorable mention.

…Lafarge smile
Also Lafarge had reasons to smile – this year the magazine for employees “Nasz Świat” debuted in the competition and went straight to the final!
Congratulations to all winners, and we wish to ourselves even more reasons to smile next year!
Or even to laugh, just like during this year’s gala, especially by our photo-booth “Content with passion.” View happy stories straight from our booth!
