Having written the papers for Front Page Design’s Cruising For Excellence case study for the Marketing Society Marketing Star Awards (to be held in Edinburgh on May 17th) I was delighted to hear that I have been nominated in all 4 categories that I entered.

This is the look that reflects the feeling you have when your advertising has been nominated for an award. The look that reflects the fact that despite being the only nomination in the category the judges decide not to give it an award; but to highly commend it.
It is not a gracious look.
It is not a grown up look but, frankly, it is not a look that should have to happen.
My opinion? If a category has no work deemed good enough for an award then don’t nominate the best of the worst. No nominations. No bitter dissapointment. No griping.
I have been told I look right pissed off in this photo. I was, but not as pissed off as my creative colleagues, Pete and Iain would have been had they attended the event.

Going to these awards tonight with 60 Watt.
We’ve got seven nominations, so we are quite hopeful. From my own point of view I’m up for the Overall Effectiveness Award with a paper I wrote for 60 Watt’s client, Edinburgh Leisure.
This is the venue. Hope the mince and tatties don’t go over the side!
