Hopefully see you there!
Last night saw a couple of good results for Wieden + Kennedy on the awards front. We picked up a Media Guardian Innovation Award (MEGA) for Nike Grid – the running/gaming real world /virtual world event we created for Nike last year with the help of AKQA and Mindshare. This campaign engaged young people in Nike Running by creating a running contest across London. Participants checked in on Facebook at rebranded London phone boxes to update their progress.
Our Nokia N8 launch campaign was a runner up in the MEGA media and technology section.
We also won a gold for our Visit Wales ‘proper holidays’ campaign at the Travel Awards last night.
Here are creative director Ray and account director Alice performing the time-honoured ritual of placing the award on the dancefloor and giving thanks to the Awards Gods by dancing around it and gesturing in its direction.
