Institute of Physics Publishing (IOP Publishing), US, has announced that it has been awarded 2nd place in the 'South West Top 100 Creative Companies' organised by Bristol Media.
Bristol Media received 357 applications from companies in the South West region. Through creative work, which has included the redevelopment and relaunch of its community website, physicsworld.com, IOP Publishing have embraced web 2.0 potential with a range of multimedia and social media capabilities.

IOP Publishing journalists and a Bristol-based camera crew were sent to film some of the latest topics in science.
After the success of using multi-media to enhance physicsworld.com, IOP Publishing is now planning to enhance its core academic journals programme, along with social marketing and content syndication to support closer engagement with the physics community.
In a separate announcement, the organisation has announced the appointment of Steven Hall as its new Managing Director. Hall will succeed Jerry Cowhig.
