Agencies shortlisted for the 2011 Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA) Best of Health Awards have been announced. The Awards reward the best creative work in healthcare advertising across 22 categories including direct, international, online and out-of-home.
In total, 96 entries out of the 375 submissions have been shortlisted with 28 out of the possible 61 agencies making it through to the next stage.
The judging process was overseen by chair of the judges, Steve Stretton, founding partner of Archibald Ingall Stretton and by the convenor of judges, Frank Walters, non-executive chairman of Frontera London.
"Having pored over all 375 submissions, I am reinvigorated by the standard of work that the healthcare sector is creating, particularly in the healthcare professional arena, and am delighted that these agencies are entering the Best of Health Awards to receive the praise they so deserve," said Walters.
