The Corporate Content Awards 2025 continues to celebrate outstanding achievements at the heart of corporate storytelling. By setting the benchmark each year for successful, authentic and thought-provoking strategies, the awards programme shines a spotlight on the power of corporate communications. This year's shortlist highlights the best practices in storytelling, narrative curation and content execution.

Returning for its eighth year, the Corporate Content Awards 2025 honours those organisations that are setting the standard for excellence in content communications. The shortlisted entries, selected by a rigorous and thorough judging process, showcase the creativity, strategic insight and audience understanding necessary to craft extraordinary work. 

This year's shortlist represents a diverse range of companies and sectors. The judges picked entrants who have demonstrated exceptional creativity, strategic vision and measurable impact in reaching their communications goals through content.

"Perpetually at the heart of any good communications campaign, our Corporate Content Awards proves that corporate initiatives can enjoy all the scope and depth of a gripping narrative," says Rebecca Pardon, editor at Communicate magazine. "We look forward to celebrating the winners in June at the magnificent Shakespeare's Globe."

The complete list of shortlisted companies can be found below. Winners will be announced at a gala ceremony on 11 June, 2025. To join us, book your place online or contact Tom Leask at tom.leask@communicatemagazine.co.uk.
