May-09 Webby Awards Sprung on R/GA & Countless Others
Now everyone will finally take down those annoying "Vote for me" notices they have helpfully posted to Twitter feeds, Facebook statuses, and IM away messages. The Webby Awards, now in its 13th year, today announced the winners of its coil-y spring-looking trophy thingee.
This is the first year that the Webbys have recognized an Agency of the Year, and the inaugural prize goes to R/GA -- which was selected because it won a total of eight Webby categories, including best B2C Rich Media for Nike SPARQ, Best Retail for NikeiD and Best Game or Application for Nike Football Head2Head.
Other big winners include New Zealand's Hyperfactory (with six awards); Goodby Silverstein & Partners (took three); Wieden+Kennedy, Grow Interactive, the Atmosphere and Clemenger offices of BBDO, and Razorfish (all nabbed two).
