The Stamats Business Media business-to-business (B2B) publication took home an Eddie & Ozzie Award in the category of Immersive/Interactive Storytelling, B2B/Consumer, for Active Shooter Drills: An Eye-Opening Encounter.
This first-person article and podcast by editor-in-chief Janelle Penny (pictured) explored what it was like to go through an active shooter drill at Stamats’ Cedar Rapids office and was accompanied by 360-degree video from the drill.
The winners were announced at the 2019 Folio: Eddie and Ozzie Awards Gala on Oct. 30 in New York. Stamats’ other B2B publications, interiors+sources and Meetings Today, took home another three Eddie Awards that night, winning all four categories in which they were finalists.
Folio:’s Eddie and Ozzie Awards recognize excellence in content and design across the publishing industry. Judges narrowed more than 2,500 entries to a pool of about 1,100 finalists in 33 categories.
