Made Magazine is hot off the press and looking stunning (but what magazine wouldn’t with Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Sportswoman of the Year, Jessica Ennis on the cover?). And like all the best things, it was made in Sheffield right here at Iris.

Iris has just won a matching set of Gold, Silver and Bronze awards at the Cream of Yorkshire Awards.
Our work for the Little Chef ‘Bring Back’ microsite claimed a Gold Award in the Digital category, our ‘Sheffield, a city you’ll love’ brochure for Creative Sheffield won a Silver Award for Corporate Literature and the ‘Everything you ever needed to know about ProCo’ mail piece we created for ProCo, scooped a Bronze in the Direct Mail/Promotion category.
Little Chef — Gold Award
Creative Sheffield — Silver Award
ProCo mailer — Bronze Award
Several members of the Iris creative team were there to enjoy the moment, with Marc Alcock, Andy Young, Nic Hearnshaw, Sally Leedham and Nic Shuttleworth all joining the throng of over 100 people at the Oracle on Leeds waterfront to collect the awards.
