The Social Media Awards second round lists are out and we’re delighted that our clients IT Sligo and LookWest.ie are both included in two categories; Best Use of Social Media by a State Body and Facebook Page for a Non-Profit Organisation.
This is the third year of the awards, which are organised by Damien Mulley, who also organises the Web Awards and lots of great conferences like Measurement.ie
We’re also chuffed to be helping judge some of the categories this year (obviously not the ones our clients are in). In the space of the few years since these awards kicked off, the social media game has changed hugely. Measurability has changed from just having likes on a Facebook page to being able to tangibly related the metrics back to business objectives (not that we ever looked at it any other way).
There are lots of awards on the Irish scene that businesses can and should consider themselves for as it’s a really great way to raise your profile and also force yourself to stand back and ask what have you achieved with all those hours with your nose stuck in Hootsuite.
Hope to see you in the Clyde Court Hotel on May 30th!
PS we’re also delighted that the ridiculously hilarious Sligostats Twitter account is also a finalist. For any Sligonians looking for some clever and sharp insights to all that makes this county tick, check it out. You don’t even have to be on Twitter to have a nose. The only question that remains is who is behind it? Answers on a postcard….
