LONDON, July 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Corporate and financial communications have become increasingly important in maintaining the reputation of a company and mitigating its risk in a challenging economic landscape. The Corporate & Financial Awards, Europe's leading celebration of outstanding communications targeting the City and its influencers, took place at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square last night.

Supporting their 'British eccentricity' positioning, the design outlined the new strategy and communicated its benefits. At the same time, changes to the legal regulations regarding annual reports and Royal London's desire to conform to the best practice of listed companies, required our in-depth knowledge, understanding, and advice on how a report should be structured and written to meet these needs.

On 7 July, Rare was recognised as a leader in financial communications after winning a SILVER award in the 'Best Annual Report for a Non-listed Company' category for its work with Royal London. The project, which launched the Group strategy and brand positioning was recognised by a panel of 25 expert judges from Europe's leading companies and organisations.

The awards recognise companies with innovative and creative communications strategies that excel at communicating to multiple stakeholders with a single distinct voice. Those companies that received awards last night did so because of their flexible approach to digital, print and personal communications. The Corporate & Financial Awards' winners set a true benchmark in communicating with the City and those who influence it.

Creative Director Lee Smith said: "we are delighted to have had our work recognised by a panel of this calibre and it proves that you don't have to be a large agency to create outstanding communications"

Sanjay Mistry, head of corporate communications in Northern Europe at Henkel and a Corporate & Financial judge, said: "The standard of entries this year was very high which made judging the nominees very difficult".

Brittany Golob, editor of Communicate magazine, said: The awards reflect the changing times in corporate comms and the growing challenges that modern business must face. But the winners of the 2015 Corporate & Financial Awards also reflect the quality of the corporate communications industry and the growing recognition of communications as an essential tool to reputation management and to maintaining a successful business."

The 2015 Corporate & Financial Awards were hosted by British business journalist and presenter on the Today programme, Simon Jack, during a gala dinner at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square. The Corporate & Financial Awards were launched in 2012 and have grown in size and stature year on year.
