They say good things come in threes and this proved to be the case for our PR team last week as great news came through of a trio of award nominations for our work with the Docklands Light Railway.
Over the last 18 months we have been working closely with DLR’s Communications Team to develop an employee engagement programme – Inside DLR – with the aim of increasing the exchange of knowledge between departments, improving productivity and ensuring timely delivery of projects.
In addition, to mark the opening of its 40th station at Woolwich Arsenal, DLR wanted to promote the role that the railway has played in the development of the Docklands area, highlighting the size of the network and encouraging increased use of the service by a variety of passengers. We produced A Brief History of the Docklands – a unique publication that gives readers an informative and entertaining insight into the history of each Docklands location served by a DLR station.
Both projects have been shortlisted as finalists in the CIPR PRide Awards and A Brief History of the Docklands is also in the running for Best Marketing Publication at the Community Rail Awards.
The winners will be announced in the coming weeks – we’re dusting off the smart suits and fancy frocks as we speak – so keep those fingers and toes crossed and make sure you check back to see how we get on.
