What an eye opener! I discovered that my team at SYNTAX and Toot are, in reality, a bunch of crazies! I mean, these people created quite a scene at the Jordan Web Awards last Thursday. They had not one, but maybe four compressed air horns, sparkling candles, confetti and other ‘celebration’ equipment’. And boy can they shout!
So, allow me here to register a complaint with the organizers of the Awards. Why wasn’t there a prize for ‘the loudest table’. We really deserved it.
I am not a big fan of awards shows. In fact I have resisted, for years, entering SYNTAX into the Jordan Advertising Awards. But the Jordan Web Awards where a good excuse for a night out with the team. And what a great team this is!
SYNTAX walked away with 7 Awards:
- 2 Golds for jordantelecom.jo (telecom) and pharmactives.com (e-commerce).
- 3 Silvers for fastlink.jo (telecom), Wadirum.jo (tourism), and Play.jo (media)
- 2 Bronzes for hallabat.com and iPark.jo
The Toot team, did amazingly well.
- Gold for itoot.net
- Bronze for ikbis.com
Not bad, eh..
OK.. Awards aside. I really want to say that I am truly proud of the team at both companies. Award shows come and go. But the fact remains that the people I work with, the designers, information architects, project coordinators, programmers, and administrative staff have been doing an amazing job over the past few years.
The real prize, I guess, is in delivering work that adds value to our client’s businesses and organizations and that make people’s lives a little easier, more enjoyable and visually richer.
I look forward to spending a fruitful (and toot-full) 2007 with you all.
