Welcome to the official Book of the Nightof the 2011 BIMA Awards.
Justin CookeChair
BIMA
“...take inspiration fromthe creative excellence
on display and let it giveyou the confidence to
continue to driveBritain’s world-class
interactive sector.”
Now in its 27th year the BIMA Awards is the world’s longest running
interactive awards ceremony, consistently setting the benchmark of
digital excellence for longer than many in our industry have been
alive. It is testament to the talent of the people working in our sector
that even when they are faced with challenging market conditions,
once again the bar has been raised.
The hundreds of entries from agencies and brands across the length
and breadth of the country is further proof that Britain is a world
leader and that we are ideally positioned to export these services to
drive growth benefitting not just our sector, but the country as a
whole.
As a result, we have a record number of Highly Commended entries.
Commiserations to those who lost out by a whisker – you may have
been beaten this year but I know from personal experience this will
only sharpen your hunger.
Creativity, effectiveness and innovation are the watchwords of the
Awards and we’re proud to have support from sponsors including
DediPower, Digital Gurus and Microsoft who reflect these values.
My sincere thanks, along with the appreciation of the entire
BIMA executive, goes out to them.
Huge credit must also go to the team behind the Awards. Special
thanks to our judging panel of 50 agency stars, client-side experts,
industry commentators and academics. I wish also to extend my
personal thanks to Jim Angell and his team at Swim Productions for
putting on one hell of an awards party on 10 November. We tasked
him with making the BIMAs the best night in the digital calendar
and he knocked this out of the park.
As you flip through this book and think about the year ahead, I hope
you will take inspiration from the creative excellence on display and
let it give you the confidence to continue to drive Britain’s
world-class interactive sector.
Congratulations to the winners and good luck to all for 2012.

Exhilo hosts digital ideas. Its DNA is formed by those who challenge convention.

Judging the BIMA Awards is no easy task, requiring days of online judging and attendance at a gruelling final arbitration session – yet the names set out
below are a mini who’s who of the digital industry. Connect the dots and the level of respect for the BIMAs becomes apparent.
We’re proud to have headed up the panel this year and extend our thanks to the judges for their level-headed impartiality and commitment to finding the
best of digital Britain. Overseeing the process has given us a unique view of the amount of effort put in – both from the judges and the entrants.
Special thanks to our group chairs who worked alongside us to ensure the process was fair and rigorous: David Brear, Jane Savage, Jane Burton, Mike Nutley,
Adam Graham, Louise Brown and Tom Reding.
We take our hats off to everyone involved.
Grand prixwinner
Targeted at youths on the periphery of crime,
Who Killed Deon? is designed to publicise a
complicated, but increasingly used law
known as Joint Enterprise.
Joint Enterprise enables those involved on
the edge of a criminal act to be jointly
prosecuted, and AMV BBDO chose Facebook
as the perfect platform to remind people that
crime is BAD. Working with the Metropolitan
Police, AMV BBDO created a fictitious
whodunnit. Via the Facebook page you can
watch a series of videos, with each one
focussing on the murder of Deon from the
perspective of a different protagonist. There
are six suspects - all involved in the murder in
some way - and through their stories you
discover that presence, knowledge, and direct
action can all have very serious ramifications.
The campaign achieved more than 40,000
likes on Facebook.

Agency ofthe Yearwinner
Having taken home awards in four of this
year’s categories - ‘Community’,
‘Automotive’, ‘Outdoor & Installation’ and
‘Integrated Campaign’ - one agency stood
head and shoulders above the competition,
and we’re delighted to announce that the
prestigious prize of Agency of the Year goes
to Profero.
Founded by Wayne Arnold in 1998, Profero is
no stranger to success, and the BIMA Agency
of the Year award marks an amazing 12
months for the team.
With shortlisted campaigns for ASOS, M&S,
and MINI, Profero highlighted a breadth of
expertise across multiple projects. From
developing a new ecommerce platform in the
ASOS Marketplace, to producing the
integrated marketing for the new MINI
Countryman, Profero managed to combine
innovative campaigns which yielded fantastic
results for its clients.

With the launch of the Countryman - a new, larger MINI model - Profero
was tasked with retaining the ‘essence of MINI’, whilst promoting the fact
that this was the biggest model to date. Profero chose to put ‘How many
people can you fit in a MINI?’ at the heart of its campaign, and the MINI
World Record Attempt was born.
In shopping centres and train terminals in eight major cities across the UK,
life-size fibreglass replicas of the new Countryman were installed. Profero
then invited people to create video footage of themselves in onsite capture
booths, which was then displayed on the windows of the cars (giving the
impression people were rammed inside them!). Footage could also be
shared via Facebook and Twitter, and by the end of the campaign 10,450
people had fit in the Countryman - that must be a record!

Recruitment in 2012The market this year has evolved albeit forcibly
in response to the aftermath of that financial
mess no one quite understands or wants to talk
about. The good news is that despite a cautious
(and rightly so on past performance, year 2001
anyone?) approach to recruiting, retaining and
especially resourcing of freelancers, there hasn’t
been brakes on approach. The digital market has
grown up in this sense.
Gone are the days when agencies would at the
drop of a hat (or call of a Head of Finance) can all
freelancers, stacking up the pressure to deliver
the work using salaried staff, who in turn get
frustrated, feel overworked and undervalued,
and cause a tidal wave of exit interviews,
leaving spaces that need, but can’t be filled due
to the cost of recruiting...
The outlook has been less dramatic and bleak
this time around. Yes, we’ve seen a drop in
budgets, and in rates for freelancers, but the
demand, while slower has been steady. We’ve
also seen a few heroes emerging as clients
increasingly demand to see their money work
harder and their media spend lowered.
We’re seeing a steady increase in demand for
client services, social media and search
candidates. Aside from the financial pressures,
and the need to reach people where they are,
target better and increase brand advocacy as
part of a genuinely media neutral approach,
clients are less wary of social media, they can see
(and start to measure) it’s effect, not just on
their brand directly, but in bringing together
and at times dividing people, in a way that no
traditional media does. A look over the past
couple of years at the work winning the gongs
shows this too.
So while there has been a downturn overall,
there’s been a change in dynamic, one that
seems to have injected new life into the
industry, and pushed people across the board
to raise their game, which can only be a good
thing.

Jamie Oliver has a number of apps gracing the iOS store, but the pièce de résistance is - without doubt -
Jamie Oliver's Recipes.
Created in partnership with Zolmo, Jamie Oliver's Recipes is broken down into a step-by-step format,
making recipes a cinch to follow. High quality photography and video are placed front and center, and it’s
this bespoke content - married with a fabulous user experience - that elevates the app above its competition.
Digestible chunks of content - known as ‘recipe packs’ - can be purchased via the app, with Jamie’s Taster
Pack provided as a free introduction. Ingredients for your favourite recipes can be added to a shopping list,
and there’s even the option to quickly reconfigure recipes for two, four, or six people.
To date, the app has won numerous awards, and over 2.2 million have already downloaded Jamie Oliver’s
Recipes for iPhone and iPad.

CreatingCreative Value Agencies come in all shapes and sizes. They sit in
different spaces within the sector. Yet one thing
unites all; creativity is central to everything they
deliver and informs their DNA. Not for nothing
do we use the term, “the creative industries.”
Every agency should pursue the Holy Grail of
standout creativity. It is what makes the
difference between good and great. It’s what
clients continue to buy and this is unlikely to
change. Awards such as the BIMAs are
testament to the desire agencies have to be
recognised for delivering creative ideas that
make a difference to their clients’ businesses.
There is no “cookie cutter” approach to
“creating creative value”; each agency or
creative business needs to find an approach that
suits its culture. But let’s not forget that
outstanding creative also delivers value for the
originating agency; when it comes to valuing a
business for potential sale, the quality of the
creative product counts for a great deal.
Acquirers, whether they be the big networks, the
mid-caps or private equity houses all
understand its value.
Creativity can come in many different guises.
Traditionally we think of it in the terms of those
legendary stand-out TV ads or memorable and
well publicised digital campaigns, but
increasingly agencies can take a creative
approach to developing their own IP, whether it
be dashboards, software or NPD suites and other
tactics that can prove commercial value to
clients and thus bring them closer.
Ultimately it boils down to some very simple
principles. Agencies which put “creating creative
value” at the heart of what they do and deliver
top end strategic and creative insights to clients
are those who have a future. They develop the
sort of thinking and work that we recognise as
possessing that unmistakeable stroke of genius.
We know it sets that agency apart from the
competition and we know that it will deliver in
terms of commercial effectiveness for the
client. Let’s not forget that in a landscape
where consumers are bombarded by a
staggering number of commercial messages, if
an advertiser can entertain, be relevant,
interesting or useful, there is still a huge
potential to change and influence behaviour.
With technology effecting change at breakneck
speed, we are living in hugely exciting times and
harnessed correctly, these advances mean that
there are more ways than ever to “create
creative value.”

A YouTube takeover is still a brilliant way to engage with your target
audience, and - in the case of The Desperados Experience - can be
hugely effective. The Desperados Experience isn’t just a YouTube
takeover, though; it’s an interactive YouTube takeover, which also
manages to seamlessly integrate Facebook. Boom!
Entering a party in full swing, MediaMonks puts the user in a first-
person scenario, inviting them to progress to the next stage of the
party by interacting with the volume slider, video scrubber and
expand button. Facebook Connect is employed to introduce pictures of
friends to the video as it plays out, with a quirky ‘reveal’ that has
helped this campaign surpass 2.4 million views to date.

Engaging the growing number of multi-screen consumers isn’t easy.
These suckers don’t just watch TV, they want to do other sh*t at the
same time!
However, in the Star Player app, AKQA enabled Heineken to marry its
sponsorship of UEFA Champions League football with a real-time app,
which users can play via iPhone
or Facebook as they enjoy live
games.
Star Player creates a social TV
game experience, inviting
users to anticipate the
outcome of events in a live
football match in real time.
With points being awarded
if you guess correctly, it’s a
great way to compete
against friends. Star Player
has been a huge success,
and has now spanned two
seasons of Champions
League football.

One of the grandest projects amongst this year’s finalists, Your
Paintings is a BBC website that aims to showcase the UK’s national
collection of oil paintings, the stories behind them, and also display
where you can see them in the flesh.
In partnership with the Public Catalogue Foundation, Your Paintings
was launched as part of the BBC's ‘Art Revealed’ season. And with
around 200,000 paintings to archive, the tally currently stands at
77,000, with the project expected to reach completion by 2012.
The site includes celebrity video tours, offers you the chance to search
by location, and - thanks to a tagging project, implemented with the
help of the general public - there’s also an extensive keyword search.
With the launch of the Countryman - a new, larger MINI model -
Profero was tasked with retaining the ‘essence of MINI’, whilst

Haystack Online was launched as a destination site for marketers looking
for the right agency, and for agencies that want to extend their reach
beyond Google and static listings sites.
Once agencies sign up to Haystack Online they can add campaigns via a
custom-built CMS tool from Solid State Group. Agencies can choose from a
selection of custom-built templates that offer flexibility, but also retain a
consistent aesthetic across the site. Visitors can then search by campaign,
agency, and can also search agencies via size, experience, and speciality.
The front page pushes a number of ‘hero' campaigns - mixed in with
news - and changes on each refresh, selecting work from the Haystack
Online database. Particular effort was taken to ensure the site works well
across numerous platforms.
Described by the National Trust as an ‘online experiment in farming
and food production’, MyFarm is an innovative, web-based project
that - for £30 - gives virtual ‘farmers’ the opportunity to become
directly involved in the real-world operation of a working farm (but
without the sticky bits).
The National Trust farm is on the Wimpole Estate, near Royston in
Cambridgeshire, and ‘farmers’ get a say in how crops are managed,
the breeds of animal kept on the farm, and the investment in new
facilities and machinery. All subscription money goes back into the
running of the site, and ‘farmers’ get access to discussion and voting
around major decisions, can view webcams of the farm’s day-to-day
running, and can also visit the estate to see how their decisions are
affecting the farm.

Aimed at fashion literate 16-34 year olds, the ASOS site currently
attracts over 13 million unique visitors a month and - as of March 2011 -
had 3.0 million active customers from a whopping 160 countries.
That’s a passion for fashion!
However, despite boasting 50,000 branded product lines, and 1,500
new product lines being introduced each week, ASOS was keen to
move the site from a retail destination to a “venue”, where buyers and
sellers of fashion could come together to trade. Working with ASOS,
Profero developed the ASOS Marketplace, a ‘global fashion democracy’,
where sellers could expose their product lines via the ASOS platform,
and ASOS could extend its line further, whilst exposing new talent.
Thousands of new sellers are now taking advantage of this new and
exciting marketplace.
It’s not often that you come across a game that stops you in your tracks, but
that’s exactly what AMV BBDO managed to achieve with The Nightjar, an
iPhone game for Wrigley’s new 5 gum.
Completely eschewing video, AMV BBDO employed the use of - get this - 3D
binaural sound technology in smartphones, to create an immersive
experience that played on the “Stimulate your Senses” tag line of Wrigley’s
new brand of gum.
Players are prompted to ‘see with your ears’, as you blindly navigate your
way around an abandoned spaceship; a lone guide (voice acted by Benedict
Cumberbatch) being the only thing between you and alien annihilation.
The game was the keystone in a wider multimedia campaign, which also
incorporated Twitter and the creation of five limited edition posters – aping
a traditional sci-fi movie release.

Given the current state of energy provision in the UK, saving power
and money is a pertinent issue for many families. With this in mind,
Energy Fit from E.ON is an online campaign that enables users to
expose power usage, and outline where energy can be saved. Users
take a survey, fill in details about their home and circumstances, and
get to view results via a bespoke dashboard that presents a personal
EFI (Energy Fit Indicator).
The survey has enabled E.ON to build up a huge repository of energy
consumption info in the UK, and through the Energy Fit program E.ON
customers have already saved enough energy to power over 7,000 3-
bed homes for a year.
Delivered monthly to Virgin Atlantic’s Flying Club members in UK, US,
and EU markets - and quarterly to members elsewhere - the Well Red
newsletter is delivered to more than a million people worldwide.
Well Red provides Flying Club members with informative and valuable
content ranging from Virgin Atlantic news and destination features,
to exclusive Flying Club benefits and special offers.
With such a diverse membership, gyro created a series of templates
that could work across different territories. Within each of these
markets, the newsletter was also segmented into targeted audience
groups, enabling Virgin Atlantic to increase effectiveness via
personalisation. And the results were outstanding. ROI and revenue
were significantly improved, and the campaign has achieved
unparalleled engagement.

At the heart of Red Bull’s first on-pack promotion is a game that
manages to hold its own in the competitive world of the iOS App Store:
Red Bull Kart Fighter.
Codes were placed on 30 million cans and then customers were
invited to play the Red Bull Kart Fighter game (either online, or via
their iPhone) to be in with a chance of winning tickets to an exclusive
Red Bull event - with can codes also unlocking credits for in-game
upgrades.
The app quickly raced its way to the top of the app chart - spending
three weeks in the top 10 - and the campaign culminated in 15,000
people descending on Cardiff Bay to see the motorsport extravaganza
that is Red Bull Speed Jam!
Not surprisingly, the banking sector is going through an awful time in
the court of public opinion, a scenario that doesn’t look like changing
any time soon. Consequently, the UK’s banks have all undertaken
major campaigns to try and win back trust and custom - none more so
than Lloyds TSB. Using the popular Lloyds World to drive its latest
campaign, Saint@RKCR/Y&R provided people with the tools - via the
Lloyds site and Facebook page - to create their own likeness, which
they could then share, with the chance of their avatar appearing in the
next TV ad from Lloyds TSB.
In total more than 150,000 Me’s were eventually created, and - most
rewardingly - over 65,000 Likes were accrued on Facebook.

www.facebook.com/whokilleddeon
Helping 14-19 year olds make sense of death outside of a religious
context might not sound like the easiest brief but - in the online game
The End - Preloaded has managed to do it via a heady mix of humour,
intelligence, and bags of style.
In this Flash-based game you guide your character - which can be
customised in appearance - through a series of challenges. Find ‘death
objects’, answer questions about your beliefs, and help distinguish
where you sit on subjects such as death and science (from Aristotle to
Kant).
Part of Channel 4 Education’s remit to help young people develop life
skills, The End manages to tackle weighty subjects in an irreverent, and
always entertaining manner.
Targeted at youths on the periphery of crime, Who Killed Deon? is
designed to publicise a complicated, but increasingly used law known
as Joint Enterprise.
Joint Enterprise enables those involved on the edge of a criminal act
to be jointly prosecuted, and AMV BBDO chose Facebook as the perfect

In 2010 Nuffield Trust - the independent healthcare think tank -
approached Torchbox to redevelop its website, and provide a platform
for UK-based and international health specialists to debate and
promote ideas.
Built on the open source Drupal CMS, the new site manages to
present a wealth of healthcare information to visitors of the Nuffield
Trust website, whilst also bringing some ‘bling’ to proceedings in the
shape of interactive charts, maps, slideshows and video presentations.
Torchbox has done a brilliant job of presenting serious, health-related
information in an accessible and engaging way, making it easier than
ever for people to access and contribute to this growing community of
healthcare professionals.

web.
Simply enter a city into the search field, and the ebookers Explorer
app will then search Flickr, YouTube, Twitter and Google, to bring you
the latest info in a unique and personalised travel magazine (whilst
also presenting the latest hotel offers from ebookers). If you wish to
share or save any content whilst browsing the magazine, there’s even
the option to push that content to Twitter, Facebook or share it via an
email account.
The ebookers Explorer app boasts a four out of five star rating in the
App Store, and takes pride of place in the App Store’s top five travel
apps around the world.
Simply put, the Million Pound Drop game is a masterclass in audience
engagement and the convergence of a TV and online campaign.
During each episode of the Million Pound Drop, visitors to the official site
and Facebook page were invited to play along, and answer the same
questions as show contestants (with the ability to connect to Facebook, to
battle against friends). But the game didn’t simply sit alongside the TV
show, it actually fed back into the broadcast, providing the production
team with demographic information on how the nation was answering
each question. Information that added to the show’s entertainment.
With hundreds of thousands of people playing along live, and more than
230,000 Facebook likes, this campaign was a triumph for Channel 4.

These suckers don’t just watch TV, they want to do other sh*t at the
same time!
However, in the Star Player app, AKQA enabled Heineken to marry its
sponsorship of UEFA Champions League football with a real-time app,
which users can play via iPhone or Facebook as they enjoy live games.
Star Player creates a social TV game experience, inviting users to
anticipate the outcome of events in a live football match in real time.
With points being awarded if you guess correctly, it’s a great way to
compete against friends. Star Player has been a huge success, and has
now spanned two seasons of Champions League football.
Simply put, the Million Pound Drop game is a masterclass in audience
engagement and the convergence of a TV and online campaign.
During each episode of the Million Pound Drop, visitors to the official site
and Facebook page were invited to play along, and answer the same
questions as show contestants (with the ability to connect to Facebook, to
battle against friends). But the game didn’t simply sit alongside the TV
show, it actually fed back into the broadcast, providing the production
team with demographic information on how the nation was answering
each question. Information that added to the show’s entertainment.
With hundreds of thousands of people playing along live, and more than
230,000 Facebook likes, this campaign was a triumph for Channel 4.

www.veinteractive.comWith the launch of the Countryman - a new, larger MINI model -
Profero was tasked with retaining the ‘essence of MINI’, whilst
promoting the fact that this was the biggest model to date. Profero
chose to put ‘How many people can you fit in a MINI?’ at the heart of
its campaign, and the MINI World Record Attempt was born.
In shopping centres and train terminals in eight major cities across
the UK, life-size fibreglass replicas of the new Countryman were
installed. Profero then invited people to create video footage of
themselves in onsite capture booths, which was then displayed on the
windows of the cars (giving the impression people were rammed
inside them!). Footage could also be shared via Facebook and Twitter,
and by the end of the campaign 10,450 people had fit in the
Countryman - that must be a record!
Shopping cart abandonment is one of the biggest issues affecting
ecommerce providers around the world but now, thanks to VeCapture
and VeContact, there’s a way for merchants to recover and convert
abandoned transactions.
According to Forrester Research 88% of online transactions are
abandoned, but with VeCapture (a data capture tool) and VeContact (a
mailing package), merchants are able to track, contact, and convert
shoppers who ditched their baskets. Some simple JavaScript does all the
tracking, and - following the identification of a lost shopper - a branded
email is sent out, which results in a 68% better chance of conversion.
VeCapture is easy for merchants to implement on their sites, and Ve
Interactive’s clients are enjoying conversions as high as 80%.

Matt Stafford was in a tricky situation. Already employed at an agency,
he was getting itchy feet, and wanted to create a web-based campaign
that would showcase his talent to creative directors from leading
agencies, hopefully leading to him getting hired. But how to do it
without getting fired from his current job?
Matt created an alter ego, ‘Miguel Jackson’, who - via The Creative
Relocation Program - contacted creative directors via anonymous video
messages, where he gave them one chance to contact him via Skype
(Matt would remain disguised behind a balaclava until he received a job
offer). Seven out of nine creative directors responded, one of whom
hired him on the spot whilst he was still wearing his balaclava. That’s
how you get yourself noticed!

Students Matei Curtasu and Annamaria Zollet envisaged a new way for
music fans to share their tastes with the world. The concept: DSLTAG, a
Diesel/Grooveshark collaboration, which makes music playlists wearable
and shareable.
Sign into the DSLTAG site, create your playlist, choose your shirt style and
colour, and then design a unique QR code that contains your playlist, and
appears on the front of your shirt. Anyone spotting a DSLTAG shirt can
then point a camera-enabled smartphone at it, and see the playlist
presented via augmented reality (which can then be played and ranked).
Judges were impressed with the scope of this prospective campaign, and
the integration of emerging techniques such as printing on demand,
augmented reality and QR codes.
To promote the launch of the new Vodafone YouTube channel, the
world’s largest mobile telecoms company approached TBG to help kick
off the channel in style.
TBG chose 3D projection mapping, a technique often used to gain
attention, but approached it with a new, lo-fi spin: The Evolution on
Mobile would be the smallest ever 3D projection mapping project.
Projecting onto various handsets - from the most rudimentary ‘bricks’,
to modern smartphones - the video charted the development of mobile
tech through the last three decades.
The video has had more than 700k views, topped the YouTube
technology chart, and was trending on Twitter for three days.
Traditional media also featured the campaign, with stories in Time
magazine, The Guardian, and many more on and offline publications.

How do you best present a survey of the nation’s sexual statistics and
preferences? Why, with an interactive infographic, of course!
The Sexperience 1000 campaign used data from 1000 individuals that
took part in the ‘Great British Sex Survey’, which was conducted by Ipsos
MORI for Channel 4 in 2011.
Mint Digital took the information from the survey, and split it into a
series of top-level categories, focussing on areas such as sexual
preference and background. Each respondent is represented by an icon,
which you can also hover over to find out more info (you can even
follow them through the survey). A set of filters also provides the
opportunity to view results by age, location, and even which
supermarket people shop at! Addictive stuff.
