Two more awards for Branded3’s shelf

It’s been an exciting past week for the Branded3 team with two prestigious award ceremonies on two consecutive nights. Travelling to the SomeComms Awards in Manchester on Wednesday night, and jetting back down the country on Thursday to the Digital Impact Awards in London (it’s alright for some!); members of our talented team have made it back to our Leeds office with two commendable awards.

We’ve had a great year for award nominations, and our award season kicked off on Wednesday with the second annual SomeComms Award ceremony. Taking place at the stylish Hilton hotel in Manchester; the SomeComms Awards celebrate the best in UK social media, and we took to our seats amongst the biggest and best media agencies in the country.

Nominated for three awards; we listened out for our name when the awards for Best Business Blog, Innovation, and Best Large Agency were being announced. Although we missed out on the top prize; the great food, cheesy silent disco and listening to Andy Crane compere (anyone remember Ed the Duck?) made the SomeComms a top night, and we were honoured to be nominated.

There was no time for sore heads on Thursday as members of our team had to make their way down to London to the magnificent Grange St Pauls Hotel for the Digital Impact Awards. Surrounded by talent from the BBC, PayPal, Centrica, and LBi; we were up against some stiff competition.

Treated to a wonderful three-course meal, great company, and commentary from Johnny Ball; our night was made even better when Branded3 won a silver award for Best Development of Own Social Media for our popular site Twitition.com.

Our second nomination of the night was for Best Intranet for our online international directory for Interflora. Pipped to the post by LBi and SmallWorlders; we were presented with the bronze award, making a wonderful end to the night.

Although we couldn’t be happier that we have two awards to add to our growing collection, we’re always just pleased to be nominated along with such well-established and well-known agencies and brands.
