Rich Media Awarded, Dance Floor Ripped Up

Last night in New York city at The Providence, Mediamind held its ninth annual Rich Media Awards. Formerly known as the Eyeblaster Awards, the event honors the best rich media campaigns of the year.

Closing out ad:tech, held the Wednesday and Thursday, the party capped a near week-long extravaganza of learning, networking and partying. Taking home the North American Judges Award this year was the work Future US did for the GamesRadar Rabbids Go Home video game which sent the entire website down the toilet.

The International Judges Award went to Digitas and OMD for their work on Nissan’s Qashgai 3D page takeover. The North American People’s Choice Award went to ThinkJam UK and Moxie Interactive for the work it did on the Avatar DVD release. And Feref UK and MediacomUK nabbed the International People’s Choice Award for their Despicable Me YouTube takeover unit.

Awards aside, it’s good to know the ad industry still knows how to party. There was non-stop dancing all night long. More so than at any party during ad:tech this week. Must be something about playing with rich media that does it. That or everyone trying to keep up with Rebecca Jenny on the dance floor.

Psychology says people who reach their 60s without any major regrets aren’t lucky – they’re the ones who mastered one crucial emotional skill most people never even think about – the ability to let go of the life they thought they were supposed to live and fully embrace the one they actually have

Quote of the day by Maya Angelou: ‘There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.’ For most men over sixty, that untold story isn’t dramatic. It’s the ordinary wish that someone had asked them how they were feeling, even once, and actually waited for the answer

Psychologists explain that people who keep every conversation light and funny and never let it go deeper aren’t being easygoing. They learned early that depth invites judgment, and the humor is a boundary disguised as warmth that keeps people close enough to enjoy but far enough away to never disappoint.
