An Amazing Time at the 2010 .NET Awards
Evan Owens and myself had pleasure of going to this year's 2010 .NET Magazine Awards held at London's legendary Ministry of Sound. As you might have read via our blog, our twitter feed, our website, our skywriting airplane, our fortune cookie inserts and various latte art advertisements, centresource was a finalist for "Design Agency of the Year" along with interactive rockstars Clearleft (the defending champ) and juggernaut, Happy Cog.
This was my second year to go, as my firm Otterball was nominated last year, so I was already familiar with the stiff competition. I mean, it is an honor to even be considered among industry leaders like Andy Budd, Jeremy Keith and Jeffery Zeldman. Although, we did try to intimidate them with our taunting wrestling promo:
W³ Xs 2!
For those of you scratching your head at the equation above, allow me to decode: centresource won a W³ award for the second year in a row!
And this year, out of the 3,000 entries received by the W³ Awards, our work for BountyBev was selected for a silver award!
We Want You... to vote for us!
So, .net Magazine thinks we are cool enough to be nominated for Design Agency of the Year! Our friends from across the pond selected us among 25 finalist, and it is now up to you to help put us over the top! To vote, just visit the awards site, go down to number 8, and pick us!
This is your only chance to help us make the top three in our category. From there, a panel of more than 100 judges will pick the winner. We just know that if we can get in to that top three, the judges are really going to like some of our latest work. Tell your friends on Twitter, too!
That makes four! Centresource again named one of Nashville's 'Future 50'
I don’t believe in fortune tellers. Or fortune cookies for that matter. I also don’t believe in magic 8 balls, in case you were wondering.
But when it comes to predicting the future, I do believe in the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce Future 50 awards.
Perhaps because for going on 20 years, this award has been a key indicator of the most successful companies in the region.
Or perhaps because Centresource was just named one of their ‘Future 50’ companies.
Being named ‘Future 50’ is not something to sneeze at.
Centresource's Evan Owens recognized as a Nashville 'Top 30 Under 30'
We are thrilled to congratulate Evan Owens from our team as a Nashville 30 Under 30 award winner this year.
Nashville's Top 30 Under 30 recognizes the city's most active young philanthropists while benefiting the CFF. Honorees were nominated by co-workers, friends and family for their charitable and professional endeavors. The top 30 honorees were then selected by the Top 30 Under 30 selection committee during the month of June.
"This honoree class has once again shown that Nashville is full of young professionals that care about their city. We hope the community will help the CFF congratulate and honor them by supporting the Top 30 Under 30 celebration in September," said Top 30 Under 30 co-chair Anne Elizabeth McIntosh.
Tuned In: Centresource picks up a pair Telly Awards for online videos
Our downstairs fireplace mantel is getting a bit more crowded. We picked up a Silver Telly Award statuette for our work in creating the online video for the Two Futures Project. This is the second major award for the site, the first a "Best in Show" from the W3 Awards. The second Silver Telly Award is given for our work in creating a video called "No Charity" for Blood:Water Mission.
More than 11,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents were received for the 2010 competition, honoring the very best local, regional, and cable television commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film productions and work created for the Web.

CentreSource named one of Tennessee's Hot 100
The weather may be quite a bit cooler than it was a month or so ago, but it is warm in our North Fourth office. Why? Because CentreSource was named as one of the "Hot 100" by BusinessTN magazine. You can check out the story in the November/December issue (pg 24 to be exact) -- which happens to be the very center of the magazine. Coincidence? I think not! Get it...centresource - centerfold. (hehe)
