2008 South African Blog Awards: Many thanks

Posted on 03. Apr, 2008 by Jonathan Cherry in Totally Whack

We have to firstly say that we dropped the ball last night, by completely forgetting to thank the awards ceremony’s primary event sponsor.

BrandsEye, the innovative new online reputation management tool [well worth checking out if the public perception of your brand is important to you] from they guys at Quirk, kindly sponsored the venue, the sound equipment, the DJ and the tables and chairs. Without them there would not have been an awards evening.
Big thanks to Julia and Tim for all their hard work and bucket loads of time.

Thanks again to:

Butlers pizza for the awesome large pizzas they sponsored for the evening – that’s yet another good reason to live in the Cape.

Liquid Alchemy who took care of keeping the event well lubricated. The company specializes in bar catering for smaller events, so keep that in mind for the next poker evening.

Warwick for a bottle of Three Cape Ladies for each one of the winners. Lovely.

Stodels who sponsored the trophies for this year’s awards. We decided to go green – so each category winner took home an indigenous tree as their trophy.

Dell for their generous sponsorship of brand new monitors for 4 category winners. Those are going to come in very handy for the winners

Cerebra for their offer of an IPod Nano which goes to the winner of the Best Undiscovered Blog. Thanks Mike.

XBox for their kind sponsorship of an XBox 360 console, which will be fought over at the Thought Leader offices. Book your Gears of War spot now.

Mad props also to the awards team who produced this year’s event – Miguel dos Santos, Rafiq Phillips, Shane Dryden, Andrew Smith and Dave Duarte. Your work and time is much appreciated by all.
