Boring, bland and riddled with paper, conference show bags have never been much chop. So when the Australian Interactive Media Association (AIMIA) asked us to create one for its 2010 awards, we took a new direction with an interactive, digital alternative.

In a whirl of champagne and silver lycra, the AIMIA awards came and went last Friday. We were up for the Best Children’s award for Origin Energy Force and Best Financial Service for Frank Health Insurance.

Only one company was going to take that trophy home, and that particular trophy is now sitting proudly at Sputnik HQ.

The results won’t be aired until the 15th of April so you’ll have to wait to discover if we walked out of there with trophy held high and an evening of champagne and canapes ahead of us, or trudged home reminding ourselves that its taking part that matters.
