ADWEEK MAGAZINE NAMES OUTSIDE DESIGN TEAM CREATIVE TEAM OF THE YEAR

New York, NY (March 10, 2003) - Adweek announced today the winners of its annual "Hot List" issue. Outside's Creative Director, Hannah McCaughey, and Photography Editor, Rob Haggart, won the prestigious Creative Team of the Year award. McCaughey and Haggart will be featured in Adweek and Photo District News and will be honored at a luncheon for the winners at the Four Seasons.

"This award is a direct result of the incredibly inspiring stories and people Outside continues to cover," says McCaughey. "We must also thank our ever-expanding group of immensely talented and devoted contributing photographers and illustrators, whom we feel honored to be growing and working with."

"Hannah and Rob and their team make Outside look as adventurous and bold and soulful as the stories we tell and the lives we explore," says Editor Hal Espen. "As a creative director, Hannah has an uncanny talent for combining the wildly hip and the literate. At the same time, she and Rob deliver photography that blends authenticity and new vision. Our readers love it, and we're having a blast working together."

Hannah McCaughey joined Outside from Esquire in October 2001, and her previous awards include gold and silver medals from the Society of Publication Designers (SPD), a Type Directors Club Design Award, and an ASME Award nomination for magazine design. Rob Haggart has been photo editor at Outside for the past three years and has worked with world-renowned photographers including Martin Schoeller, Anton Corbijn, and Peggy Sirota.
