There are some nights when you wonder why you go to the trouble, expense and time of entering awards. Those tend to be the nights when you leave empty handed with nothing but a mild hangover to look forward to the following morning.
Then there are nights when you remember what it’s all about – rewarding a great team that delivered a fantastic campaign and saying a huge thank you to the client (Meantime Brewing in this case) that backed an often preposterous idea with their hard-earned cash.
Last night was the latter.
The Meantime team scooped a ridiculous (but utterly delightful) two high commendations, three category wins and then the Grand Prix at the CorpComms Digi Awards.
We picked up certificates for Best Digital Campaign and Best Integrated Campaign, taking to the stage in the process. But we also bagged the main prize in the categories for Best Social Media Campaign, Best use of Twitter and Best Evaluation.
To cap off an extraordinary night we made one final return to the stage to take home the Grand Prix for the best campaign overall on the night.
A cracking campaign, a great team, a wonderful client and one of Hope&Glory’s most glorious nights. Even if we do still feel a little embarrassed by our success.
