ambergreen win online excellence award
May 13th, 2008 by anurag
Last Friday night saw some of the ambergreen team dressed to the nines in our best evening gowns (and that was just the guys!) for an evening at the Sheraton Grand to see ambergreen scoop the top prize for ‘online excellence’ at this year’s Marketing Society’s Marketing Excellence Awards Scotland.
In case you are wondering the award was made for our work with MyTravel (which is now part of the Thomas Cook group) to transform one of the largest names in travel from an underperforming online brand into an e-Superbrand but there’s a whole press release that goes into a little more detail on that!
The Marketing Society annually launches a search for the stars of marketing excellence in Scotland. The Marketing Society developed these prestigious awards to promote best practice and to recognise the marketing stars that provide direction and inspiration for all.
Anyway back to the evenings events and the show was compared by Dougie Vipond the drummer from Deacon Blue who often presents BBC’s sport coverage. His line in humour was cutting to say the least (if you were there you’ll get that in joke) and he did a fine job in keeping the evening flowing. A lot slicker than his team St Mirren’s passing this season!
There was some particularly strong work short listed from many agencies (work from The Leith agency is always excellent) and Marketer of the Year Glen Gribbon gave a fantastic acceptance speech to round the night off before most of the marketing community descended on the bar to talk business I’m sure!
I digress. Well done to everybody who made the shortlist, and to the winners; How good did it feel to get your hands on that star eh? Here’s to next year. Maybe we’ll pick up another award…
