WINNER:

Citywire New Model Adviser

Judges agreed that the overall standard in this category was very high this year, finding it tough to decide between two frontrunners. However, after a thorough discussion, Citywire’s New Model Adviser was confirmed as the winner.

“Unsurprisingly, an excellent submission,” commented one judge, adding that “NMA are constantly raising the bar, submitting strong examples showing breadth and quality, and displaying strong assets across a variety of formats”. “The whole package,” remarked another, stating that “the private equity investigation is of profound importance to the industry and is a strong example of data-led journalism.” “The digital magazine has a slick design that is user-friendly and easy to navigate,” another judge said.
