Crown Dependencies recognised at Citywealth Brand Management Awards

The awards took place on 23rd June during a champagne reception at the 5-star Great Scotland Yard Hotel in the heart of Westminster, London.

Now in their tenth year, these annual awards were created to highlight the best brands and their communication strategies. They also recognise the ever-important marketing and press function within financial services and the challenges they face as they switch to ESG stakeholder models.

Karen Jones, founder, CEO and editor of Citywealth, commented on the awards: “Brands today face a challenge that barely existed a few years ago. As AI increasingly mediates how people search for information, organisations risk becoming less visible to audiences despite years of investment in content, marketing, and digital engagement. At the same time, firms must compete in an environment shaped by automation, fragmented attention, and rapidly changing customer expectations. The winners of these awards have demonstrated exceptional skill in navigating this landscape, building brands that continue to resonate, engage and inspire trust.”

The winners were announced by host Rebecca Jones, broadcaster, and former BBC Chief News presenter.
