New award category in brand-sponsored online video games recognizes cutting-edge branding vehicle

New York, NY ? May 12, 2004 ? The 2004 One Show Interactive awards were handed out tonight with a little something for everyone. The Best of Show award went to an Asian agency and client; the Advertiser of the Year was a repeat of 2003?s honoree; and one of traditional advertising?s most-awarded ad agencies has now made its mark in the new media space.

The 2004 Best of Show award, ?NEC Ecotonoha Project,? went to an entry in the corpo-rate business-to-consumer web site category for Japan?s NEC Corporation. A web site that invited consumers to post their comments about environmental issues, creating an online community ?tree? of links and comments, it was produced by the client?s in-house agency, NEC Media Products in Tokyo.

Goodby, Silverstein & Partners was the top agency winner at tonight?s presentation, earning five Pencils for outstanding interactive work created on behalf of clients Discover Card and Hewlett-Packard. In addition, interactive work for Nike placed high, with Pen-cils awarded to interactive agencies serving the brand around the globe, including a Gold and Silver for the One Show Interactive?s newest category, Brand Gaming.

As a result of the total number of Pencils it earned in this year?s show, Nike has once again been named One Show Interactive?s Advertiser of the Year. The compliment mir-rors the naming of rival Adidas as One Show?s Advertiser of the Year, based on its per-formance in the The Club?s competition for print, broadcast, radio, innovative media and integrated branding.

The One Show Interactive Awards are sponsored by The One Club, the foremost non-profit creative organization in the world devoted to the professional development of ad-vertising?s creative community.

This year?s One Show Interactive jury was chaired by Matt Freeman of Tribal DDB.

The event honored work in a wide range of interactive media categories, including a new award for the best work in brand-sponsored online video games. In this category, agen-cies creating Brand Gaming websites for Nike took home a Gold (Framfab Denmark) and a Silver (DoubleYou) Pencil. In addition, Pop & Co. was awarded two Silver Pencils, one for client Cartoon Network and the other for Puma.

?We received a great response for this year?s newest category, branded gaming,? said Kevin Swanepoel, Interactive Director of The One Club. ?The entries were well-targeted, from simple kids? games to high-end online games for the fanatic.?

Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, based in San Francisco, dominated the Banner Campaign and the Beyond the Banner categories, winning a Gold and Silver for Discover Card, a Silver and Bronze for Hewlett-Packard and a Silver for Specialized bicycles.
