Tim,

Any chance you can release the following for the awards:
- most trafficked Mumbrella page for the awards
- most commented

It might fit better in a 2009 wrap-up but would be interesting to see topics & numbers.

Difficult to understand any justification for the comments of Dan Brian about the ‘ignored’ and ‘vanilla’ PRIA awards when for the third year in a row there was a record number of entries. The awards were revamped three years ago and are surveyed each year. Next year there will be further enhancements, so watch this space Dan if you think your campaigns are worthy of peer review.

Michael Lynch from Campaign Brief gave me a call after seeing the above comments.

He assures me that any agency that might have the impression that he has a problem with them also dealing with Mumbrella is entirely mistaken.

I am of course delighted to take him at his word on that.

Cheers,

Tim – Mumbrella

Our PR girl had a phone call too. What’s the issue?

I hope that’s just idle gossip from ‘Cannes Winner’. It’s outrageous, antiquated and mean-spirited of whoever it might be – if true.

And in that respect, Mumbrella’s awards are surely then worth entering on principle alone.

Care to comment on that, Lynchy?

If you enter the Mumbrella awards you are black banned from another rival mag/website. Worth it?

Hi guys, we had a couple of PR campaigns we were keen to choose a nomination from however given we are reputation paranoid in this game we decided to wait to see the type of entries (how detailed they are, what formats, production quality, etc). We realise this is a chicken and the egg thing for you guys but it’s very intimidating to think we may get it badly wrong & be tarred and feathered by our peers with the criticism stains immortalised on the eternal stone of the internet should we get it majorly wrong. Such confidence, I know

Just thought you might like the feedback as 2 firms we hang out with in Briz said the same but we all think it’s a sensational idea given the stale PRIA comps & similar are very vanilla to the point of being totally ignored.
