We spent a few days in San Diego and LA for the global mobile marketing awards. Had a good time chatting to a load of people including heads of two of our compeition: Steen from 5th Finger and two of the Hyperfactory brothers. We all ended up on the same table with Adam – win all the awards – Dunn and a nice Spanish guy from Mobile Dreams Factory.

In the end The Hyper Factory and Mobile Dreams Factory took off with most of the awards (I am thinking of changing our company name to “TigerSpike Factory” – that must be it). We do win our fair share of awards but didn’t at this event (we were nominated for two).

What was pretty cool is that for all our competition with eachother we are all good guys and all seem to get along well, share information to help eachother and have fun competing… like a big game of monopoly!! (Except with real money and not involving property or little shoes or a mini dog, and also Monopoly usually ended up with someone throwing a tantrum and throwing the board in the air… so not really like monopoly at all actually).

And I have to tip my hat to the two factories and Aura for bringing home the spoils!  We got some plaques for being nominated, which I think Matt has left in the rental car!… haha..  reminds me of the MMA Awards in Sydney where we always used to break ours. Why can’t they make them stronger! (or serve less alcohol)
