The intranet of one of our key clients, Deutsche Post DHL, has won a prestigious media award: the inkom. Grand Prix, awarded by the German Public Relations Association (DPRG). theblueballroom’s Rob Taylor is the online editor responsible for English-language intranet content at DPDHL in Bonn, Germany.

According to the jury, this winning entry was an “exemplary trendsetter in terms of the look and feel of its multimedia content and how it integrates the latest social applications”.

Jury chairman Professor Gebhard Rusch from the Institute for Media Research at the University of Siegen explains: "An intranet is no longer about putting every bit of company information online, it’s more about structuring information so that it is clear and intuitive and you can find what you want, when you need it." Rusch has developed a tool to evaluate intranets and he and his team conducted the evaluations for inkom.

The prize was awarded on July 2, 2010 at a ceremony in Berlin. The inkom. Grand Prix triumph now qualifies DPDHL’s intranet for the International Germany PR Award.
