December 2, 2009. Beverly, Mass.—The RedCoat Publishing editorial department recently received five coveted Eddie awards from
Folio Magazine. Eddies are given out by Manhattan-based
Folio in recognition of excellence in editorial.
“This really is a tremendous achievement,” said Mike Kelly, publisher. “It’s not unusual to see titles like
Fortune,
BusinessWeek, and
Inc. picking up more than one award, but for an up-and-coming publishing house like us to win five this year says a great deal about the quality of writing we produce.”
Two RedCoat articles won gold Eddies. The cover story of Fall 2008 issue of
Energy Today won in the energy business-to-business category. The story, “
State of the Art,” written by Jill Rose, describes Boulder, Colorado’s smart grid project. Rose is editor-in-chief of
Energy Today, American Executive, Inside Healthcare, and
Northeast Executive.
“
Green Spree,” the cover story of
Retail Merchandiser ’s September/October 2008 issue, by Michael Sharkey, former editor-in-chief, won the gold award in the retail category. The article looked at the sustainability efforts of seven leading-edge retailers. In addition,
the September/October issue of the magazine won a bronze award for best full issue in the retail category.
Two RedCoat articles won silver Eddies: The cover story of the
August 2008 issue of American Executive was an article on social media entitled “
Social Status,” by Jill Rose. It won for best single article in the design/advertising/marketing category for B2B magazines.
The second silver was awarded for a feature story by RedCoat editor Amanda Gaines in the Spring issue of
Welcome Magazine. “
Come On In,” an article on how hospitality companies can design successful loyalty programs around customer desires, won for best single article in the food service/hotel category.

Health Executive Article Wins Prestigious Eddie Award
Beverly, Mass., October 9, 2007 —The cover story of Health Executive’s April issue has won a coveted silver Eddie award from FOLIO: magazine. The article, “Finding Camelot,” was written by Michael Sharkey, managing editor of Health Executive and American Executive magazines. Read the full story.
The article tells the story of Goshen Health System, located in Goshen, Ind. In 1995, the hospital system had only three weeks of cash in the bank and a turnover rate of 27%. Today, thanks to a process improvement program developed by organization revitalization expert Clay Sherman, Goshen Health System has a turnover rate of less than 4% and consistently operates in the black while being the lowest cost provider in the region. At an awards ceremony on September 23rd in New York City, Mr. Sharkey’s article won the silver Eddie award for editorial excellence. The award gala kicked off this year’s FOLIO: Show, a national event for magazine professionals.
This year’s competition drew almost 3,000 entries from all categories of magazines, making the Eddies and Ozzies (design awards) the largest and most inclusive competition in the industry. The competition was judged by a panel of more than 100 editors, publishers, creative directors, webmasters, and consultants. The Health Executive article won in the single-article category for healthcare business-to-business publications.
