We WON an AdNews Award!

Our small lil agency reached a LARGE milestone last night...

We at 31ST are thrilled to announce that we have WON our first AdNews Award for 'Small Agency of the Year, 2012'!!!

The win was completely unexpected, as there were many great agencies vying for the title – but we are honoured to be recognised for our (reasonably new 3-year old) company's huge achievements and growth for the past year.

Dressed up to the nines with our frocks and heels (and suits for our 3 boys) – everybody in the 31ST team attended the Award ceremony, along with the big wigs of the advertising industry.

We were treated to a delicious sit down dinner, while the absolutely hilarious Julia Morris MC'd the event – she had us in stitches the whole night!

In summary we had an awesome night to mark a great year. We would like to thank our lovely clients, business partners, suppliers, work mates, friends, families, loved ones and even our pets for this achievement.

Check out our some of our happy snaps below.
More photos will be posted on our Facebook page next week... Watch this space.

Supermarket Sweep January

Every Monday morning, we gather around our large boardroom table and go through the WIP (work in progress). It's usually a long list - but it's a task that keeps us on top of our deadlines and helps us plan the week ahead.

What you may not know, is that after every WIP we have a presentation called 'supermarket sweeps'. We have a schedule for the whole year, where a staff member is allocated the task of  'sweeping' supermarkets, bottle shops and convenience stores for a week. Their mission - to snap promotions that tickle our fancy, point of sale that strikes a cord or just anything that makes us stop-during-our-shop.

This week's sweep was by Shelley (our account manager working across Bacardi Lion and Campbell Arnotts). Here are a few of the top things that came out of her supermarket week.

Taubmans Endure's on

First-things-first a B.I.G. congratulations to our client, Taubmans for being awarded Choice's best overall interior paint. We of course know how good it is, but to be independently tested then recognised this is H.U.G.E.

Second-things. Some shameless self-promotion of our design work for Taubmans end of financial year promotion that passed a few months ago. It was a very successful campaign that had massive cut-through. So, next time you are doing a little touch up, or reno choose the No. 1 Interior Paint supplier, Taubmans from now on!
