The Cundill History Prize
Commissioned in 2017 by Canada’s McGill University, FMcM undertook a complete rebrand of the Cundill History Prize the world’s richest award for history writing.
Our fully integrated global media, social media, marketing, advertising, partnerships, content and events campaign has established the prize as an unmissable fixture in the international prize and cultural circuit, with mainstream media, trade and public traction across Canada, the US and the UK.
The Cundill History Prize is now widely recognised as the leading international prize for history writing.
