An Interview with the CMA’s Content Person of the Year, 2021

The International Content Marketing Awards continues to grow, not just in terms of entries and the quality of these entries, but the categories we now offer. We’ve celebrated ‘Editor of the Year, Designer of the Year, and Rising Star’ categories for a number of years and our members expressed interest in a new category that would celebrate a ‘Content Person of the Year’. This could be awarded to someone who not only works across content creation, but may work closely with other areas of the business.

2021 saw the launch of our ‘Content Person of the Year’ and we were delighted to see a number of incredible entries come through, entries from a wide variety of sectors and locations. Our inaugural Content Person of the Year was awarded to Michelle Galluzzo, Creative Director at The Precinct.

Award Case Study: The Missing Podcast

Agency: What’s the story? Sounds
Client: Missing People UK / Locate International
Award: Best Podcast, 2021

More than 100,000 people are missing at any one time around the world.

In Britain alone, someone is reported missing EVERY NINETY SECONDS.

But while the majority are found safe and well, 1% of missing persons cases are still unsolved 12 months later. Interest in their cases is almost non existent, and Missing People UK and Locate International have struggled for years to get meaningful and active engagement for this cases, and to demonstrate they’re doing all they can for the families and loved ones desperate for answers.

This is the podcast series all about those 1% – the long-term missing who have never been traced.

Each episode tells the story of a missing person.

Each episode gives a voice to a family member or loved one affected.
