Here at Time Out Group we are honoured to have been announced as Campaign Publishing Awards winner for International Brand of the Year for the second time in a row. The accolade has been awarded thanks to the leadership of CEO, Julio Bruno who was also named Business Leader of the Year (consumer media) 2021.
The awards recognised Time Out Group as an evolving and adaptable media business. The judges especially felt the company’s brand pivot from Time Out to Time In, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, was ‘a great success story’.
The awards noted Time Out’s great strategy and ideas through 2020, such as the launch of the Love Local campaign; providing a platform to independent businesses in the city who were struggling. This opened up an array of incredible commercial opportunities supporting important initiatives for small businesses, BAME individuals, women and the LGBTQ+ community.
Time Out Group won the International Brand of the Year award last year for the rapid expansion and brand diversification with Time Out Market in 2019. Since April, we have launched a brand new Time Out Market in Dubai, reopened Miami and Boston with Lisbon, New York, Chicago and Montreal to open in the coming months. Time Out Market also has a strong pipeline of brand new openings coming in 2022-2025 and beyond.
Time Out Group CEO, Julio Bruno says, "We are incredibly proud to win Campaign’s International Brand of the Year Award for a second time. It has been an eye opening year and has shown how we as a business are resilient, creative and resourceful in any situation we face. My team has worked incredibly hard over the past year and I am humbled by the strength we have all shown. Time Out Media and Markets are now focusing on the renaissance of the cities and travel, and we cannot wait for what the future has in store.”
