The Hive Awards vai premiar os heróis desconhecidos da internet

The Hive Awards

A indústria de comunicação está lotada de premiações e festivais, então você se perguntaria porque alguem criaria mais um tipo de prêmio. A International Award, mesmo grupo por trás do New York Festival, também se perguntou isso, mas encontrou uma boa resposta: reconhecer todas aquelas pessoas que trabalham nos bastidores e raramente recebem crédito.

Essa é a proposta do Hive Awards, premiar os “heróis desconhecidos da internet”: programadores, coders, designers de usabilidade, estrategistas de conteúdo, arquitetos de informação, planejadores, etc. Ou seja, toda a galera que fica longe do glamour dos grandes festivais.

O Hive Awards ainda dividiu as categorias por indústrias, “porque o cara de conteúdo de um site de entretenimento sempre vai ser muito mais sexy do que o cara de conteúdo de um site de seguros”.

Qualquer um que tenha participado de um projeto de internet pode se inscrever até o dia 31 de janeiro, mas a participação é paga. Resumindo, vamos premiar os “heróis desconhecidos”, mas não existe almoço grátis.

Your Experience Is Your Biggest Hurdle


Unchecked, bias makes it difficult to be objective, and often causes marketers to prefer messages that are more relevant to them rather than to the people they are trying to influence. It's likely the reason why so much advertising misses the mark, as it appears that it doesn't understand who it's talking to.
