Close but...
Alas we did not walk away with one of the deceptively heavy gongs at last night’s BAFTAs for our work on C4’s ‘One Born Every Minute’. However congratulations to Dragonfly for doing the business with the TV show. It was a great night either way and we hope to be back next year with a fraction more success…

The nominations for this year’s BIMA awards have been announced and we’re happy to say that for the second year running we’re up for an award. Battlefront has been nominated in the best website category. The competition is stiff (we’re up against the iPlayer!) but we reckon we’ve got a shot at it.

BBC, Save Our Sounds
The insight is simple - there are numerous ways to capture the visual world, but barely anything in sound. The BBC World Service is trying to put that right and is asking people to help preserve ‘endangered sounds’ by recording and sharing them. The recordings are all displayed on an interactive map, developed by Airlock, that allows you to upload audio and place it exactly where it was captured. Other users can then click around and travel the world in sound.

Sony Radio Academy Awards
We scooped silver for Best Multiplatform project at the Sony Radio Academy Awards last night for our ‘World on the Move’ project for BBC Radio 4. ‘World On The Move used muti-media to take radio programming into areas not within the traditional remit of radio. Its subject matter was brought to life in the most captivating of manners and listeners were able to use the various platforms to generate new content.’ Couldn’t have put it better ourselves.
