Virgo Consumer Health hails recent awards nomination

Virgo Consumer Health has expressed satisfaction after receiving a number of nominations ahead of forthcoming industry awards events.

The company has been nominated in three categories at the OTC Marketing Awards for 2012, while the organisers of the Golden Hedgehog Awards have shortlisted recent Virgo campaigns for four accolades.

At the OTC Marketing Awards, marketing schemes conducted on behalf of Buscopan and Seven Seas will compete for the best OTC medicine and non-medicine PR campaign prize, as well as the best big-budget OTC marketing campaign award.

Meanwhile, the Golden Hedgehogs have also honoured Virgo's Seven Seas work with nominations for media relations campaign and healthcare/pharma campaign of the year, while its Footlight on Scholl media launch will compete for event of the year.

Virgo will learn whether it has won the awards during prizegiving ceremonies in March 2012.

Earlier this month, the agency announced that it has strengthened its Virgo Value team with the appointment of Tristan Mulholland as a new account manager.
