Totem Wins Big at Magnum Opus Awards

Just a quick post to trumpet Totem’s achievements at this year’s Magnum Opus Awards. We’ve been entering a selection of our work in these awards since their inception in 2004. We appreciate the rigour that these awards receive in terms of evaluation in the context of journalistic intent and effectiveness. The Magnum Opus awards are co-sponsored by ContentWise, a communications industry digital publication, and the Missouri School of Journalism.

We received 15 citations, including Gold for an article published in CAA Magazine, produced by Totem for the Canadian Automobile Association.

We also nabbed a Silver for Best Use of Photography – Single Feature; four Bronze awards; and nine Honorable Mentions.
