The Revolution Awards have long been the definitive benchmark of digital marketing innovation and effectiveness in the UK, and this year they have been given a makeover, and a change of focus.

After more than a decade rewarding best-in-breed digital marketing and business initiatives Revolution have decided to add a focus on innovation. Gareth Jones, editor of the magazine says:

“As anyone in digital knows, what is cutting edge today will be passé tomorrow. With this in mind we recognise that those who consistently push the boundaries of marketing, those who venture into uncharted territory and those that do things that genuinely have never been done before are those that will succeed in the fragmenting media world.”

Catch designs and develops a range of Haymarket Media Group websites and entry processes, and this one is no exception. The deadline for entries is Friday of next week, so begin your entry process here www.revolutionawards.com, good luck!

We’d like to wish all of you a belated happy new year, and to extend a special warm welcome to Catch’s new clients Lucida PLC, Halbren Homes, and existing client Haymarket’s publication Campaign (the advertising rag, of course).

Kicking off the new year in style, the first phase of various digital marketing pieces will be rolled out immanently.

The inaugural Campaign Big Awards will take place in October 2008. This new multi-disciplinary competition reflects how agencies work for clients in the 21st century, as it is based on product categories. It will be possible to enter work into six media areas – digital, direct, posters, press, television and cinema, and radio.Catch is providing the technology powering this years Campaign BIG Awards. Continuing our relationship with Haymarket, we’re developing the technology to enable a smooth entry process and online judging for over 2000 expected entrants.We’ve designed and built the first phase of the site already, with the first phase of the entry system coming online at the end of the month.
