Last night at the BSME Rising Star Awards in London ELLEs features team scooped the award for Best Specialist Team. Cue champagne.
Life lesson: sometimes its important and entirely appropriate to shout loudly about your own achievements
The judges described Team ELLE as being on fire right now (hell, yes) and awarded the trophy in recognition of the consistently outstanding print content produced over the past year. Today we celebrated with doughnuts, naturally.
The highlight of the features teams submission was our groundbreaking, interactive project to rebrand feminism. We partnered three leading feminist thinkers with three award-winning advertising agencies and asked them to tackle feminisms image problem head on. The resulting campaigns caused a social media storm #ELLEfeminism.
ELLE were not the only Hearst winners at last nights ceremony. Cosmopolitan, Esquire and Womens Health also took home trophies ensuring that Hearst dominated the event securing five wins out of a possible eleven.
