Restaurant Business up for 8 Jesse H. Neal Awards

The awards spotlight excellence in business-to-business media.

Restaurant Business has earned eight nominations for the 2018 Jesse H. Neal Awards, an awards program that spotlights excellence among business-to-business media.

The categories in which RB is a finalist include best website, best infographics and best overall art direction. Notably, it has also been nominated for best range of work by a single author (Editor-At-Large Peter Romeo), and is being considered for top honors in the category of best media brand.

“Winsight’s leading media brands provide the best information to their respective markets each and every day, whether online or in magazines,” says Chris Keating, group president of restaurant media and events for Restaurant Business parent Winsight Media, which received its largest-ever amount of Neal nominations this year. “To secure a record number of Neal Award finalist nominations is a testament to the quality work our editors and designers contribute to their industries.”

RB’s sister brand FoodService Director was recognized as well, receiving three finalist nominations, including best overall art direction and best single issue of a magazine.

Restaurant Business and FoodService Director are clearly leading their respective markets in digital content, magazine design and data-based journalism,” says Sarah Lockyer, senior vice president of content for Winsight. “It is exciting and invigorating.”

Winsight brands CSP, Convenience Store Products and Winsight Grocery Business were also named as Neal Award finalists in various categories.

The award winners will be announced April 5.
