Significant success for Journal International in New York; the MOMENTUM magazine from Glashütte Original and the American Express CENTURION magazine took home the most coveted awards in the corporate publishing sector at the Pearl Awards. CENTURION magazine received the ‘Best in Custom’ award for the best overall customer magazine – the most prestigious award of the evening. MOMENTUM won the ‘Best Overall Design’ award for its excellent look and feel.
A special night for Journal International: On 13 November, the Munich-based publisher was a winner at the Pearl Awards in New York. Held on behalf of the Custom Publishing Council – North America's leading corporate publishing association – the fifth annual Pearl Awards ceremony took place in the Rainbow Rooms atop New York City's iconic Rockefeller Center. Journal International walked away with top honours in all three nominated categories. Crowning the evening was the victory for CENTURION magazine as best overall magazine – coming out on top against almost a dozen other top publications. CENTURION also won the category ‘Best Overall Editorial’. There to accept the prizes was Journal International’s Group Publisher, Gerd Giesler.
MOMENTUM, the magazine from luxury watch manufacturer Glashütte Original, was victorious in the category ‘Best Overall Design’ for circulations between 50,000 and 250,000. MOMENTUM took the award ahead of other leading international magazines, including the newly re-launched Four Seasons magazine. Gerd Giesler collected the award alongside Amy Chia, PR manager for the Swatch Group USA.
The awards event lured some 150 industry members from more than 50 corporate publishing firms. Alongside editorial content and design, the jury for the Pearl Awards also took the strategic concept and the online presence of the publications into consideration. In total, 615 magazines were submitted for the awards.
