Important News re. Webbys
October 18, 2007 at 8:51 am
Some feedback you’ve passed on to me concerning the Webbys has been that the entry fee is too much for struggling small dynamic companies. It’s not the lack of confidence in our work. Nothing cultural. No, we’ve left all that ‘who me sir?’ attitude behind in the last century. What it comes down to is cold and hard money. Right?
I understand. When you’re running a business you have so many demands on your resources. An entry fee to a prestigious global awards ceremony may be just too much.
I listen. So with that in mind I set off to talk to a big strong cash flow positive company and asked them if they’d like to get involved in sending Irish companies to the Webbys.
They agreed. They can see the potential in setting some Irish web, mobile, video, advertising companies on the global map. They believe in the talent that exists in ‘this little country’ and they want to get involved in spreading that word outside of Europe and on to the global stage.
So what I can say now is watch this space. Start thinking about who should represent in the following categories. Is it you? Your company? Or maybe you’re just really clued in to what’s hot and out there. Whatever the case, we’ll be wanting to hear from you. Who do you think should get their entry paid to enter the Webbys?
