Bigmouthmedia in the running for 3 awards in the 2006 Interactive Marketing Awards.

The awards, launched three years ago by NMA and Marketing Week, are designed to showcase and celebrate the best in interactive marketing and advertising, from the perspective of effectiveness and ROI. The winners will be announced at the IMA Awards in London’s Royal Lancaster Hotel on 8th November, and once again they will be the standard-bearers for the emerging age of interactive marketing and advertising.

The short-list means that bigmouthmedia holds two finalist positions out of five in the ‘Best Use of Search Marketing’ category, for highly successful, ongoing campaigns for Tesco.com and Superbreak. Both campaigns show excellent search marketing success, and high ROI.

Speaking about being short-listed, Lyndsay Menzies, bigmouthmedia’s MD commented "This is fantastic news. The IMA awards are highly respected, and reaching the finals for all 3 entries is very exciting. My team works really hard to develop outstanding search campaigns for our clients and this external recognition of such is very welcome. It’s going to be interesting having two bigmouthmedia teams and two client campaigns in the running against each other! Agency-wide too, reaching the finals of ‘Media Agency of the Year’, against stiff competition, is something to be very proud of.

This news comes just a fortnight after bigmouthmedia bagged two awards in the National Business Awards for Scotland. Dubbed the ‘Business Oscars’ by the Chancellor, Gordon Brown, the NBA’s are the UK’s most sought after business accolade. In a little over four years the programme has grown to include five regional events, a stand-alone event for Scotland and new for 2007 a European programme too. Bigmouthmedia took home the ‘Growth Strategy of the Year’ and the ‘Small to Medium Sized Company’ titles in the Scottish finals.
