We’re delighted that CorpComms Magazine’s Digi Awards – which showcase the best of digital communications – have recognised the Portland Contact App as “Most Innovative Product”, beating off strong competition from organisations including BP and Southern Water.
It was fantastic to hear the award’s judges, representing the in-house digital teams of some of Britain’s largest organisations as well as leading digital communications agencies, describe Portland’s App as a ‘very innovative, genuinely new and different product’ – reflecting the feedback we’ve had from across the public affairs and corporate communications industries since the app’s launch in September 2011, including:
For PR and public affairs professionals this is an incredibly handy tool. While most people subscribe to paid databases, this is free and is mobile.

Congratulations to our digital team, the other winners last night, and all of the companies shortlisted.
The Portland App provides clear and accurate contact information for key political players, news sector desk contacts and profiles for leading newspaper editors, allowing users to manage an interactive list of their essential contacts.
