The Association of Online Publishers has handed its Digital Editorial Team of the Year: B2B award to the Architects’ Journal.

The judges said that AJ team ‘demonstrated a real understanding of their sector, creating significant engagement and growing audience substantially. They also demonstrated true leadership on key issues facing their industry.’

AJ editor Emily Booth said: ‘These are the top digital publishing awards – they’re tough to get shortlisted for, and even tougher to win.

‘It takes a huge amount of effort to make the AJ digital offering as brilliant as it is. It requires a massive team focus – driven by head of engagement Mary Douglas – from our standout journalists, brilliant art desk and dedicated production team.

‘Engagement figures are up, traffic numbers are up – and we’re firing on all cylinders as we put our plans in place to make our digital presence even stronger as the AJ enters its 125th anniversary year.’
