This year we launched our first-ever Social Media Awards, designed to celebrate the creativity, dedication and hard work of our volunteer leaders and young people.
Our shortlisted finalists were judged by a panel made up of representatives from the BB and Refresh PR (our PR agency) as well as Pete Markey, Chief Marketing Officer at Boots UK & Ireland, who is a former BB member. 25% of the scoring was decided by a public vote, with over 3,300 votes received.
The Boys’ Brigade made a massive difference to my life personally, I wouldn’t be doing the job I’m doing today and wouldn’t be the person I am today without the Brigade. I want to congratulate all the winners, and thank you to everyone who took part. Your effort, your work, your creativity is brilliant and these awards have been so much fun to judge.”
