It’s been almost three weeks since the Roses Advertising Awards, and no one’s take the time to write about how we did on here. You should be ashamed. Here are some groovey shoes for you to stare at, in case you’re not wearing any yourself.

And the news blackout wasn’t because we did badly either: we had six nominations and we picked up five awards. Admittedly we were a little low on Golds, but three Silver and two Bronzes is pretty good for a night’s work. The winners (OK, technically we didn’t win) were:

LOVE: Silver: Best Website.

Warburton’s National Bread Week: Silver: Best Website.

It’s a Boy/It’s a Girl: Silver: Chris Bowen Award for Best Copywriting.

It’s a Boy/It’s a Girl: Bronze: Best Art Direction.

PSP: Bronze: Best Use of Illustration.

And the next day (Friday 1st May) we were informed by the powers at D&AD that we’d got three pieces of work into the 2009 book.

It’s a Boy/ It’s a Girl: Graphic Design: Catalogues & Brochures

It’s a Boy/ It’s a Girl: Writing for Design

Small Kids/ Big Boxes: Packaging: Packaging Design

Well done/hats off/pats on backs/high fives/up above/down below/you’re too slow to everyone who worked on the projects with us. And well done to the other Manchester agencies (Mark & Music to name two) who also had a healthy amount of work featured.
