‘STS’ Honoured at Creative Circle
Mar 4th
Start Thinking Soldier has picked up a few more trophies – this time at the Creative Circle Awards, where it won Bronze honours for Best Viral Marketing and Best Multimedia Campaign.
In above the line categories, it also won a Bronze Best Press Ad for ‘Football’ and a Silver Best Public Service Ad for ‘Girlfriend’ and a handful of commendations, so congratulations to the creative team of Matt Anderson and Steve Nicholls of Publicis, who were also responsible for the four TVCs.

Skive's Louis Clement and Publicis Modem's David Prideaux grapple over a BIMA while posing for the cameras
Team Skive enjoyed a big night out in Camden last Thursday at the BIMAs, held this year at Koko.
Together with Publicis Modem, we picked up 2 awards from a possible 7 for Start Thinking Soldier, including Best Interactive Advertising and Best Advergame – and later found out we were within a whisker of the coveted Grand Prix, which ended up going to Philips Cinema 21:9.

The agency took a whopping 16 Skivers to the event, showing the scale of the project and the sheer number of people involved, and a good night was had by all – not least when beatbox wizard Beardyman took to the stage and jolted the audience awake with his ‘verbal hellfire’.
Start Thinking Soldier Picks Up Bronze Statue
Nov 25th
Matt, Louis and Jim
Skive recently picked up a bronze at the London International Awards, in the Online Games category.
Under the impression that the statues would be shipped to Skive HQ within the next two weeks, a few of the team went to the UK Winners party at the Paramount Club to scarf down the complimentary drinks and canapes on offer, and the chance to ‘mingle, with a cocktail or two…..or three to celebrate’.
Rolling in at half eight, we were surprised to see the awards had already been handed out (mostly to the ever-gracious AKQA), a lone bronze statue sitting neglected on its own on the Awards table.
Needless to say it was ours, so we grabbed a beer and happily made the most of a photo op.
