The panel of judges said they ‘felt that Pulse has a clear understanding of, and strong connection with, its audience, exemplified in its strong editorial campaigns and impressive commercial figures.’
They added: ‘A clear winner in a highly competitive and hard fought category’.
Pulse columnist Dr Phil Peverley was also given an honorable mention at the awards for his writing in Pulse.
The award caps off a golden year for Pulse, with other prizes won this year including ‘scoop of the year’ at the British Society of Magazine Editors in November and ‘editor of the year’ and ‘story of the year’ at the Medical Journalists Association awards in July,
