13 October 2008: Arrival on the Scottish Recruitment Scene in Style
One month on since the opening of its new Edinburgh branch, recruitment and employee communications specialists ThirtyThree Limited are celebrating a successful outing at the Herald Scottish Recruitment Communication Awards (9th October 2008).
ThirtyThree – which has offices in London and Bristol and opened its first Scottish base in Edinburgh in September – stole the show at the glittering ceremony at Oran Mor in Glasgow, taking top honours in four categories, including the evening’s highest accolade – the Grand Prix for Best Work award – for their graduate campaign on behalf of RBS Group.
The agency also walked away with Best Integrated Campaign, also for RBS, Best Private Sector Advertisement for Lloyds Pharmacy and Best Not for Profit/Charity work for Oxfam.
Chairman of ThirtyThree, Andrew Young was delighted with the latest additions to the agency’s trophy cabinet.
“We’ve been doing some great work in Scotland this year, so it’s nice to be recognised. These award wins reinforce our view that the Scottish market is receptive to fresh creative thinking. It’s still very early days for our new office however and we know that it’s our ability to deliver timely and cost effective recruitment outcomes that will ultimately determine our success."
The award wins come in what has been a fruitful year for the agency which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. In April this year ThirtyThree announced that it had acquired the entire share capital of Bristol based competitor recruitment communications agency, RAA Sprague Gibbons Limited. It also swept the board at the AGR and CIPD awards by taking awards in three categories in each – including the prestigious CIPD Grand Prix award for their work for fashion accessories retailer Claire’s.
ThirtyThree is also the lead agency driving forward the recently launched OneAgent global recruitment organisation which offers global recruitment solutions on a local level from its network of independent creative agencies in the USA, Asia Pacific, India and Europe.
