90TEN Healthcare wins two prizes at Communique Awards

90TEN Healthcare has been presented with a pair of accolades at the Communique Awards 2011, which took place earlier this month.

The marketing agency was given the prize for best public health initiative and a special award for innovation for a teenage pregnancy campaign created alongside East Sussex County Council.

Hailed as "superb" by judges, the initiative has been credited with helping to bring about an 11 percent drop in local teen pregnancy rates.

Meanwhile, the HIV: Closer Than You Think campaign conducted on behalf of the 56 Dean Street sexual health clinic in London was also commended in the same categories, with judges stating it was a difficult choice between the two programmes.

Paul Tanner of 90TEN Healthcare said: "It's a real achievement just to get into the finals, let alone win."

This comes after the agency won a CIPR Excellence Award for its Faster, Closer, Earlier campaign for 56 Dean Street last month.
