Steelso vs Real Life

Silver

Well we won a couple of silvers in last night’s award thing. The one I was most happy about was that we won a silver for BE Books sex education website which, given the competition, I was really quite surprised about. This was my first proper advertising award do and some of it seemed a bit strange. The odd thing is that no one won a gold. So while we won a silver it was odd as it seemed, to me, like there was no winner. But, hey, aren’t we all winners, hmmm, aren’t we?

So, a bit of a treat. I was Govanhill’s Next Top Model as I strutted on to collect my bit of paper. Blue Steeled like daft.

It was a good night all in. Well done to my team for creating the website and thank to the NHS for letting us do the project. Well done all.

Boom

Martin and I off to London for the ever-so-fancy-pants IPA Health Awards. I’m kilted up, they’ll never know what hit them. We’re up for a few awards with the Bebooks website but I’m not sure we’ll win. We’ll see. Free bar though, either way I can drown my sorrows or celebrate our win. I’ll let you knowhow it goes, probably through Twitter. And possible Flikr too. Ooooooo, look at me, aren’t I all oh-so Web2.0!!!!

Excellent

More congrats to Mark and Martin who won a Yellow Pencil at the DA&D’s. This really is the Oscars of the design world and it’s a great honour to be on the winner’s list.

It doesn’t end there. At the IPA Best of Health awards we’re up for six awards including a few for the Be Books’ website. Which is exciting. We’ll see what happen in July!
