IE were delighted to learn last week that our submissions under the categories of Outstanding Innovation and Best Brand have both been shortlisted for not one but TWO of Birmingham’s much-coveted 2008 Creative Cities Awards.

The awards recognise and reward achievement within the city's thriving creative sector. They are open to organisations operating across a diverse range of industries, from advertising to publishing to software. Competition for the awards is notoriously tough, so IE is thrilled to have been chosen as one of only three finalists in each category.

A love of innovation and a confident, robust brand have been integral to IE's character since the agency was founded fourteen years ago. Everyone at IE is thrilled that these qualities now stand to be publicly acknowledged.

To learn more about either of our submissions or about IE in general, call the man through whom it all began, MD Ollie Leggett on 0121 693 8700
