DataComms 2025 shortlist announced After reviewing a diverse range of entries from various sectors, the final shortlist for DataComms 2025 has been unveiled, showcasing the very best corporate communications campaigns that effectively integrate data insights.

It will be news to no one that the world of work is in flux. While few of us have yet seen colleagues plucked from their desks to be replaced by more efficient, better-read (and possibly slightly chirpier) AI tools, the office air feels pregnant with inevitable change. This puts communicators in a tricky position: how do you reassure anxious employees and maintain a strong corporate culture, when your own role is surely set to also be transformed? Earlier this year, I had the chance to put all of these Qs to a fantastic panel at Communicate magazine's Internal Communications and Engagement Live conference and left feeling... surprisingly optimistic 😌 For those who missed it, and are not suffering from AI apathy, you can catch up on our panel below (featuring real humans 🤫) ⬇️ ⬇️

Every year, the DataComms Awards celebrates the incredible ways organisations use data to shape corporate communications. We’re thrilled to announce the shortlist for the DataComms Awards 2025! The standard of data-driven corporate communications continues to rise, and this year is no exception. The 2025 shortlist showcases a dynamic mix of cross-sector work, all selected by our expert panel of in-house professionals from corporate communications, digital, and data roles. A huge thank you to our expert panel of judges for their time and insights, and congratulations to all the shortlisted entrants!
