After finding out about our double win at this year’s Webbys, myself (Steph), Jude and Sam aka Tony’s Angels thought it would only be polite to jet off and attend the internet’s most glamorous night of the year…The 12th Annual Webby Awards…in NEW YORK!….it’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it.

It really was a star studded night, attended by some of the most influential people within the industry including…

Hal Trencher - Vice President, National Sales, Sports and Music at Yahoo

Tom Arrix - Vice President of Sales at Facebook

Josh Mooney - Chief Marketing Officer at Juxt Interactive, (the guys behind BMW’s award-winning digital campaigns)

and musician Will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas whose internet videos for US presidential hopeful Barack Obama gained him the Artist of the Year award at this year’s Webbys.

…we even had time during our visit to meet the locals…

Right, now for the serious and sentimental bit…

The whole Webby experience is one that I doubt Magnitude will ever forget. From being nominated and being up against the biggest restaurant chain in the world, to winning two awards and being officially recognised as part of the industry elite - none of this would have been possible if if wasn’t for out amazing team at Magnitude and of course the judges and everyone who voted. It really is a great honour and proves that even a small North Yorkshire-based digital agency can have global success, so a huge THANK YOU to everyone!

And in the words of Jude at the Webbys…”Long reign the bloody internet!”
