On Wednesday 11 December, Haymarket proudly announced the winners of The Work Awards 2024, its esteemed global internal awards programme. Celebrating excellence across seven categories, these awards showcase outstanding achievements that embody Haymarket’s commitment to impactful work, remarkable content, and its core values.

The Automotive team won Campaign of the Year for their 2023 Christmas Subscriptions Campaign. This highly effective and strategically structured initiative attracted thousands of new customers, drove significant revenue, and contributed to a record-breaking year for subscriptions. Judges praised the campaign’s clear objectives, targeted approach, and impressive year-over-year performance improvements.

Commercial Excellence was awarded to Automotive Studio, for their consistent delivery of outstanding results. The team was commended for exceeding targets, building new revenue streams, and achieving remarkable growth. Judges highlighted their ability to forward-book revenue well ahead of a new record target, showcasing their unwavering commitment to success.

‘TOXIC’ by The Ends Report won the Design Excellence award, for being recognised as a “truly outstanding piece of art and design.” This visually compelling project showcased Haymarket’s creative expertise, with striking artwork and graphics enhancing the user experience. The TOXIC documentary, which explores PFAS “forever chemicals”, gained national attention, was featured in The Times, and earned a nomination for a major national award.

The US and Haymarket Medical Education secured the Editorial Excellence award for their innovative curriculum on CD19-directed CAR-T therapies. This program bridged the gap between groundbreaking medical advancements and real-world applications, improving patient outcomes and earning praise for its real-world impact.

Live Event of the Year was awarded to the US Business Media Group, who impressed with their AI Deciphered Summit, a collaborative event hosted by Campaign US, MM+M, and PRWeek. With over 300 attendees, this event tackled AI-related topics, practical applications, and ethical considerations through dynamic programming and exceptional speakers.

Outstanding Business Contribution was awarded to The Studio Project Rhino Delivery Team, for excelling with their Rhino’s Market Reports 2023/24. Delivering 20 data-driven reports over 12 months, the team surpassed Q4 paid content revenue targets by 35% and elevated Haymarket’s B2B offering with industry-leading insights.

The UK People Team claimed the Outstanding Work with Impact Award for achieving Disability Confident Employer Status – a powerful initiative that advances equality and fosters an inclusive workforce. Judges commended the team’s dedication to making a tangible difference, aligning with Haymarket Impact’s focus on DEI, Gender Equality, Climate Action, and Quality Education.

The final award was the highly anticipated Best of the Best title, selected from the champions of both The Work and The People Awards, announced earlier this year. 

This prestigious honour went to Waseem Qureshi, VP of Enterprise Architecture, Web Development, and the 2024 Colleague of the Year.

Judges praised Waseem as “a true asset to Haymarket,” commending his unwavering dedication, passion, and exceptional commitment to both his work and his team. 

As Waseem approaches his 20th anniversary with the company, his career reflects remarkable growth and impact. He began his journey in Haymarket’s UK technology division before transitioning to New York, where he now leads as VP of the Enterprise Architecture Tech Team.

Congratulations to all the winners of The Work Awards 2024 and for their exceptional contributions over the past year. Their achievements exemplify the talent and innovation that define Haymarket globally. Stay tuned to see the winners of our next set of Haymarket Awards in summer 2025.
