2017
3di won two awards at UKTC 2017; Best use of single sourcing and multi-channel publishing and best business integration. Judges described the portal as “… a great example of multi-channel publishing. It uses a variety of media to educate the user on what One Net is, and how to use it. This is a great example of what can be achieved when there is a good working relationship between two businesses. The entry focuses on the customer experience to very good effect.”
2016
3di won two merit awards at UKTC 2016; one for Best Conceptual Communication and one for Best Procedural Communication.
Judges described the Best Conceptual Communication entry as “A very accomplished and attractive video. The design concept is fresh and suits the subject matter very well. The importance of product information and accessibility of that information is demonstrated effectively.”
For the Best Procedural Communication entry, judges said “The booklet produced to accompany the product is very well designed and constructed for the purpose. The submission description indicates that the booklet was produced to tight timescales and on a low budget. This makes it even more impressive as this is not evident.”
2015
2015’s UKTC awards saw 3di win a Trio of awards: Best Conceptual Communication, Best Use of Single Sourcing and Multi-channel Publishing, and Best Product Integration.
Best Conceptual Communication was awarded for our work on the Engineering Construction Industry Association ‘Productivity Best Practice’ Guides. Explaining the reasons for the win, UKTC judges described this guide as ‘engaging, consistent and – above all – useful to UK Engineering Construction Industry. We particularly liked the overviews for each section, and the provision of checklists.”
Both Best use of Single Sourcing and Multi-Channel Publishing and Best Product Integration were awarded for our work with Vertu. The Judging panel praised how ‘…Clear and easy to follow, these guides are an excellent example of collaboration across disciplines providing a set of documents that meet the needs of a diverse international audience with high expectations.”
