IASB2B and McCann Manchester lead the field with 15 shortlisted entries between them

The shortlist for the Construction Marketing Awards 2011 has been announced, and IASB2B leads the field with eight shortlisted entries.

McCann Manchester runs a close second, appearing on seven shortlists. Cement specialist Lafarge tops the client roster with seven different projects appearing on the awards shortlists.

The judges said they were delighted with the quality of entries, which they said were especially strong in the strategy and digital categories.

Chair of judges Ian Exall said: “I’m really pleased with another year of record entries. It shows marketers’ creativity and enterprise is not dulled by the awful economy.”
