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. “
