The Association of Online Publishers (AOP) Digital Publishing Awards is one of the UK's most prestigious media awards and SoGlos has made it to the finals in the best online consumer brand category.
Representing Gloucestershire and the only regional media brand in the running, the SoGlos team — and its readers and partners! — now face a nail-biting wait to see who will be crowned the winner at the awards celebration dinner in London on Wednesday 12 June 2024.
SoGlos is in some of the most highly respected company in the media industry, with The Telegraph, Radio Times and BBC Good Food also in the running for the best online consumer brand category.
Newly appointed CEO of SoGlos's parent company SoPublishing, Michelle Fyrne, said: 'Making it to the finals in these highly respected awards, particularly in this important online brand category, really cements how far SoGlos has come as a media brand over the past 17 years. It is a wonderful achievement and great recognition of the unique So brand in preparation for expansion plans in the pipeline.
'SoGlos has developed as a brand that our growing number of readers and partners have valued and trusted for almost two decades.
'Reaching the finals alongside such heavyweight national titles really is recognition that we are making strides in our mission to revolutionise regional media and we are thrilled that that is being recognised far beyond the county borders.
'Our fast-paced, positive style of quality journalism continues to celebrate the region and our rising reader engagement also tells us we're on the right track.'
The awards celebrate industry excellence and judges include media leaders from The Walt Disney Company, Time Out Media, The Telegraph, Google, Bauer Media, Reach Plc, Condé Nast, News UK, Mail Metro Media, Newsquest, PinkNews and Immediate Media Co.
