Tech Talk with Vodacom won Best Science or Technology Podcast, Woolworths TASTE won Best Social Media/Online Community in the Consumer category for its Instagram and TikTok presence, and long-standing TASTE food director Abigail Donnelly won Best Series of Articles in the Custom/Content Marketing category. Our remaining four entries all received honourable mentions in their respective categories.
New Media CEO Aileen Lamb says: “The Eddie & Ozzie Awards are a favourite of ours, as they recognise editorial and design excellence from across the globe. To stand out among thousands of entries is a true honour and testament to the passion for craft that our Purple People possess. I could not be prouder of their storytelling abilities and the exceptional work they deliver for our Vodacom and Woolworths clients.”
Vodacom’s portfolio manager for social media and content marketing, Sunaina Parbhu, says: “The Tech Talk with Vodacom podcast leverages a powerful medium to discuss emerging tech in an easy-to-understand way, bringing listeners along the journey with us as we uncover and expand on the latest trends. After all technology is nothing without humanity. We’re thrilled that the podcast, with our partners New Media, has achieved international recognition at the Eddie & Ozzie Awards.”
In 2023, New Media and Woolworths are celebrating a 20-year, multiple award-winning content partnership. Woolies’ head of food marketing, Elizka Ferreira, says: “New Media has become a close and cherished collaborator, helping entrench Woolworths as South Africa’s food authority. Their work resonates with our customers, creating a personal connection through content that leads to higher conversion. This is testament to an incredibly strong team of true content experts who are literally among the best in the world.”
