A Wee Brag
As many of you know, I work for an interactive agency called Fuel Industries. I don’t talk about it much on this blog for reasons of objectivity, but I will make an exception in this case.
Every year, Marketing Magazine, a canadian marketing trade publication, hosts the Digital Marketing Awards. This is our chance to really show off the kind of cutting-edge games and branded entertainment that is being created in the great white north. The awards ceremony is on November 2, but prior to that is the DMA Consumer’s Choice Award for best branded game of the year. Marketing Magazine and Canwest take the best advergame entries from that year, and publish them for the public to vote on their favourite. I’m happy to say that of the 16 projects featured, 7 of them are Fuel Industries projects.
If you’ve got a few minutes, check out the voting site (registration required) and vote for your favourites. Of course, I would never suggest that you vote for a Fuel Industries project simply because of who made it, but, if you want to show your nepotism, the following projects are ours:
- American Dad vs. Family Guy Kung Fu
- Hershey’s Take 5
- Teletoon’s B’s Stunt Track
- Oh Henry Snowboard Challenge
- FedEx TeeOff 2006
- Andy Roddick vs. Pong
- Pog Super Slammers
Also, while we’re on the subject, we’re in the midst up updating our entire website (cobbler’s children, etc.) and our corporate blog is going to be a big focus of the revamp. If any of you would like to check out what we have so far and make some suggestions on what you would like to see in terms of content, features, or what have you, feel free to drop me a line or a comment with your suggestions. I have a lot of ideas for how it is going to change, but I always appreciate input from my blogging cohorts.
