BAHBAs 2009

The Most Awesome Use of Digital Media

Brighton has long enjoyed its reputation as the digital hub of the UK, being known the world over as Silicon Beach.

Now local digital media companies are being encouraged to have their work recognised by entering the Most Awesome Use of Digital Media category in the Brighton and Hove Business Awards – the BAHBAs.

The new award has been sponsored by the one of the UK’s leading specialist social media agencies, Nixon McInnes. The judges will be looking to identify those individuals, companies and organisations which do most to raise the bar and enhance Brighton’s reputation for delivering digital goodness on a global scale.

Will McInnes, managing director of NixonMcInnes, said: “Being a Brighton business to our very core, we are fiercely proud of the BAHBAs as a different, riotous and much-deserved celebration of the city’s business community. Brighton is one of the most exciting cities in the coutnry and we expect to see some stunning and innovative work submitted for this award.”

Now in their fifth year, the BAHBAs are firmly established as the city’s premier business awards scheme – with more entries than any similar schemes. Designed to raise awareness and to celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of Brighton & Hove, the BAHBAs acknowledge and celebrate those companies, organisations and individuals who are helping to build the Brighton brand.

Closing date for the Awards is 10 July. Enter online at www.bahba.co.uk

The awards take place on Friday 26 September and will once more be staged in the Oxford Room of the Hilton Brighton Metropole
