World Television has been honoured with six awards at two key prize ceremonies in the USA – the 2005 Videographer Awards and the US International Film and Video Festival.
World Television received two first prizes (Awards of Excellence) at the Videographer Awards. The first, a BP production, Performance in Perspective (PiP) is a quarterly programme targeted at employees which summarises and explains the company’s financial results, combined with the impact on staff. The English version of PiP is completed two days after the results announcement and can be viewed at desktops on BP World (BP’s Intranet). Three days later it is webcast in 6 different languages and is also distributed on DVD. PiP has repeatedly beaten its quarterly viewership targets and now reaches over 50,000 employees worldwide in 6 languages.
Then Business of Development also received an Award of Excellence in the programming category. Business of Development, broadcast on CNBC, is the world’s first television series dedicated to the links between sustainable development and business issues. The series profiles businesses who are actively involved in developing regions and has featured companies such as Hewlett Packard, GSK and Pfizer. Honourable mentions at the Videographer Awards were also given to two other World Television productions - Reuters Living Fast and another BP project, OneBP Invision. |

At the US International Film & Video Festival, World Television won both second and third prizes in the employee oriented category. Second prize (The Silver Screen Award) was given to OneBP Invision, a twice-yearly presenter-led magazine style programme shot entirely on location and featuring reports from throughout this huge global organisation. As with PiP, this programme is made available to all BP staff via the Intranet and on multi-language DVD. Third prize in the same category was awarded to Reuters Living Fast. This follows the recent Award of Excellence this production received at the 2005 Communication in Business (CiB) corporate video awards.
