Great news! On Thursday night, two EchoDitto projects were recognized at the 2007 Golden Dot Awards Ceremony, sponsored by GWU's Institute for Politics, Democracy, and the Internet.
We tend to get shy around here when it comes to talking about our work, but we couldn't hold back on this one. The Golden Dot Awards honor "innovative, revolutionary uses of the Internet as a political tool. The 2007 Golden Dot award winners truly represent the movers and shakers of cutting-edge campaigning.” Alright!
Since Sliced Bread was awarded the Best Online Community Response Effort, which is given to a "campaign that used technology to solve a local or civic problem." And Pearl Harbor Stories was honored for Best Podcast Series. You can read more about our work on these projects here and here.
We're really proud of our work on both projects -- they were truly successful partnerships with our clients and labors of love by our entire team.
So, a huge thanks to both the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) here in DC and the Pearl Harbor Memorial Fund out in Honolulu for their creativity and willingness to experiment with us. We're pretty darn lucky to be able to work with organizations like these, committed to surfacing and supporting the greatest citizen-generated ideas for America and, in the case of the Pear Harbor Memorial Fund, to creating a much needed oral and living history of the attacks on Pearl Harbor.
Also, a special shout out to PRsolutions and MacWilliams Robinson our talented media partners on SinceSlicedBread. And the same to both Trellon and our friends at Brodeur, without whom the Pearl Harbor project wouldn't be nearly the success it is!
