marketing week engage awards

Trophies

A pretty good night last night at The Marketing Week Engage awards. Our table (W+K, AKQA, Mindshare and Nike) picked up a few gongs. And compere Chris Evans said of Nike's Adam Collins and our Nic Owen, 'Those guys are so fucking cool.' The loquacious ginger platter-spinner is correct on this one.

But we lost out (above) on agency of the year, coming second to Karmarama. Damn them and their brave thinking and outstanding work.

Winners were immortalised on a pack of special Top Trumps cards. Here are the ones relating to stuff we were involved with.

Old spice trump
WTF trump

As you can imagine, much fun was had comparing these scores from campaign to campaign. 'Costa coffee gets a '10' for engagement and Write the Future only gets 8?' Hey ho.

The evening was also enhanced by a couple of nice chaps who presented us with a (warm) bottle of congratulatory champagne but didn't explain who they represented or what they did. Thanks, gents.
