Two wins at the inaugural AI Comms Awards

Last night, at the first AI Comms Awards, Comms With AI won Gold for Best Innovation in AI Tools for Communications, and Faur founder Michael MacLennan was named AI Communications Leader of the Year in the agency category.

Comms With AI is the productised sister brand to Faur: ready-to-use AI templates, workflows and training built for communications professionals, each deployable in 15 to 30 minutes. The judges described it as “simple, specific and scalable”, which is a fair summary of what it set out to be. The individual award recognises the work behind it, and the counsel that sits alongside it at Faur.

For Faur clients, the practical meaning is this. The advice you get on AI, whether in a Faur Bearings consultation or a fuller engagement, comes from someone who has built and shipped tools that other communications teams use every day, and who has been honest in public about where they help and where they do not. That combination of hands-on building and senior judgement is what the awards recognised, and it is what you are buying.

Thank you to the organisers, the judges, and the clients whose work gave us something worth entering. The full result, with the citation, is on the Comms With AI site.
