The Monkeys, Whybin and UM winners at B&T Awards

The Monkeys took out the Grand Prix at the B&T Awards, while UM took out two gongs and Whybin\TBWA was named the creative agency of the year on Friday night.

In his first public address director of content and commercial David Hovenden admitted it had been a “pretty tough year” for the publication, and signalled a change in strategy for it after the print publication went monthly in September.

He said: “From our point of view it’s been sufficiently tough we have had to re-set what we think B&T will mean in the future. I look forward to sharing those plans with you in the New Year.”
