Well, another night and another close second it seems for Mydeo and for Cary and I. The ISPA's were good fun, with Lee Hurst providing the right sort of incentive to keep the acceptance speeches short - professional heckling! With him in the chair it was rare that anyone muttered much more than 'thank you' and the awards fair rattled along. He had basically shown fear of no man in his opening piece and that set the tone for the evening.
We were flatteringly up for the 'Best streaming service' award again this year, largely due to doing so well in the technical and performance tests that go to provide the shortlisting process for the awards. Unfortunately the judging criteria include a range of other production and consultancy services that we don't provide so it was with little surprise that we saw the awards won by astream; although i have to admit we thought we could win for 10 minutes or so leading up to the announcement.
I was sat next to the chairman of the judges John Fisher this year so hopefully we'll be a better known quantity next year and you never know, the criteria might even change... Anyway on to the next one and monday holds some hope for us with the Sharp Edge awards I already mentioned - there has been some particular scrutiny around this one so I really hope we get it and break our duck with a nomination that comes good. Wish us luck!
