Today we are celebrating nominations for both The Independent itself and for our very own Nadine White. We are sharing a new Brand Blast with you all and looking back at the Women’s Euros.
The Media Week Awards has announced its shortlist for 2022, with The Independent featured in the Media Brand of the Year category. We’re over the moon to be recognised as one of the UK’s top media brands, after our best year yet.
Beth Gordon, The Independent’s Trade Marketing Director says: “To be a Media Brand of the Year finalist is fantastic. It’s a huge honour to be nominated for one of the most coveted gongs of the night, especially when there are only four brands which have been shortlisted. We thank the Media Week Awards judges for recognising our work, wish everyone the very best of luck and are so grateful to all the incredible people who have helped The Independent make change happen.”
The winner will be announced in London on 20 October. For more information, visit here.

In the aftermath of England’s Euro win, The Independent ran a survey of 500 adults from Great Britain. We found that The Independent readers were far more likely than non-Independent readers to have watched the final and also got behind teams in other games in the tournament.

Prior to the final, as excitement grew, we carried out another study among 500 women (16+). Here we found that 77% of female Independent readers said that they planned to watch the finals of the Euros over the weekend, compared to 50% of women overall. Furthermore, 64% of Independent readers said that they had already watched other games in the tournament compared to only 39% of women overall.
