Nicola Clark of Marketing wrote, “A raft of creative and ground-breaking work ensured that Sunday caught the judges’ attention. The tough economic situation has had little impact on Sunday’s bottom line… Its growth came on the back of an extraordinary tranche of big-name new-business wins, including Sky, Vodafone and Marks & Spencer. The agency also created the winner of the APA’s Launch of the Year award, A Thousand Little Things for Boden.”

Sunday has been shortlisted for this prestigious accolade every year since the agency was established in 2005. In 2008, we were earmarked ‘Agency to Watch’. We went on to be crowned Publishing Agency of the Year in 2009.

The full Agency of the Year supplement will accompany tomorrow’s edition of Marketing.

First up, Ethos, our magazine for international service company Serco, won Best Public Sector/Government Title. The judges said “Ethos simply stood out above all the others. The design, writing and overall quality really grabs you and pulls you in.”

The other big win of the night was for A Thousand Little Things, our highly inventive and rather beautiful book, published on behalf of Boden. Announced as Launch of the Year, it beat off some incredibly stiff competition – see the shortlist here.

And finally, judges gave Modus, our magazine for the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, a Highly Commended award in the Best Membership Title category.

Thanks guys, we’re chuffed.

And a tad hungover, due to one or two too many glasses of fizz. Roll on next year…

Today Tomorrow (Toyota), Ethos and ethosjournal.com (Serco), A Thousand Little Things (Boden) and Modus (RICS) each received three nominations, including recognition for Art Directors Catherine Hopkinson and Christie Ferdinando.

Further shortlists came for our work for Allianz, Strutt & Parker and two other Serco titles.

Toby Smeeton, Managing Director of Sunday, said: “This has been a fantastic year for Sunday with major new business wins and standout work for our clients. To receive 16 nominations in our sixth year as an agency is simply phenomenal.”

The winners will be announced on Wednesday 23 November.

A big thanks to all the team, both agency and client-side, and all our contributors. A great night had by all… albeit resulting in a couple of hangovers today.
