TVF Takes Gold at World Media Festival

April 2008

Epilepsy DVD is recognised in Hamburg

A TVF programme called ‘Is it Epilepsy?’ has taken Gold in the Medical PR section of the 2008 World Media Festival.

‘Is it Epilepsy’ is a multilingual DVD resource for use by people with suspected epilepsy. The 20-minute programme demonstrates and explains the diagnostic tests for suspected cases of epilepsy and is presented by BBC journalist Rajesh Mirchandani. It provides much-needed reassurance to the thousands of people who undergo MRI scans, EEG tests and other investigations during their search for a diagnosis, particularly those for whom English is a second language.

The DVD was provided as a service to epilepsy under an unrestricted grant from Pfizer, who market the drug Lyrica.

Rachel Farrow, Managing Director at TVF Communications is delighted with the award:

‘TVF has won a number of awards for work in the field of epilepsy, and this latest win confirms our strength in this area.”

This win comes as the latest of a string of successes for TVF at the WMF, having won two Golds in 2007 and numerous other awards in previous years.

The World Media Festival is an annual global event with an award ceremony hosted in Hamburg. The Festival celebrates and rewards the best in communication and PR across a range of industries and sectors, with a particular focus on tailoring messages to the audience and the use of innovation and creative formats.
