ARC Awards 2008: Two Awards for checkpointmedia

Telekom Austria AG and Vienna International Airport AG

At the annual ARC Awards ceremony in New York, at which the world's best online annual reports are honoured, Austria scored two successes. The online company report of Telekom Austria created by checkpointmedia won silver, while Vienna International Airport's annual report won an Honours Award. On 19th September 2008 the prestigious ACR Awards - the "Oscars for annual reports" - were awarded to the competition's winners for the 22nd time at a gala celebration in New York City. Austria was able to score two successes in the online report category, the online annual reports of Telekom Austria and Vienna International Airport, both designed by checkpointmedia AG, winning a Silver Award and an Honours Award respectively. Both Telekom Austria and Vienna International Airport had chosen to use the online business report tool genesto® to create their financial reports. This tool was developed by checkpointmedia AG in cooperation with Mensalia Management Consultants. What really sets the special tool genesto® apart is that it enables annual reports to be presented on the web in a way that allows information to be accessed faster and more selectively. This year, checkpointmedia partner Mensalia was far and away the most successful entrant in the prestigious competition. The Vienna-based company came away with four "Grand Awards" and no fewer than 13 "Gold Awards". This year, around 1,900 annual reports of listed and private companies, organisations, associations and non-profit organisations from all over the world were submitted. The reports of Telekom Austria AG and Vienna International Airport impressed the jury, which was made up of over 200 experts from the fields of investor relations, public relations, journalism and design.
