Woolworths TASTE’s ingenious Loadshedding Cookbook took top honours at the International Content Marketing Awards in London, winning gold in the highly competitive Best Use of Print category.
The standalone special edition, a cookbook designed to stop load shedding from ruining your dinner, features smart cooking strategies and 89 recipes by TASTE favourites Abigail Donnelly, Khanya Mzongwana, Hannah Lewry and Philippa Cheifitz. It stood out in a category that was notable for having nominees from some of the world’s pre-eminent content marketing agencies.
New Media CEO Aileen Lamb says: “The TASTE team have had wonderful awards run in the year we’re celebrating our 20-year partnership with Woolworths. I could not be prouder of their commitment to delivering award-winning content that connects for a client brand we adore. This International Content Marketing Award is a testament to the collective brilliance of our Purple People, their innovative spirit, and their ability to turn ideas into impactful reality – and it’s testament to a client who believes in the power of content marketing. Together we’re raising the bar for the industry in South Africa … and beyond.”
Woolworths head of food marketing Elizka Ferreira says: “The TASTE Loadshedding Cookbook affirms our commitment to using content to give our customers even more value at a time when they need it most. This award underscores the immense impact of crafting content that not only resonates with our audience but also aligns seamlessly with the essence of Woolworths, fostering a relationship that goes beyond transactions. New Media’s synergy and collaboration with us always results in meaningful content that captures the heart of the Woolies shopper, driving customer loyalty. Gold in London: what a way to celebrate our 20-year partnership!”
