We’re proud to announce that MirrorMe has won a highly prestigious 2010 MediaGuardian Innovation Award (Mega) in the Applications and Gadgets category for its Facebook application, MirrorMe.
Judges praised MirrorMe by declaring: “It’s new, usable, popular and therefore has social value and empowers kids on making decisions about their future.”
The application beat off very stiff competition including from Nike Football Master Control to win this highly prized award.
Receiving the award at an awards ceremony at Paramount, Centre Point, London on Thursday 25 March 2010, Jeremiah Alexander, Ideas Architect, Ideonic says:
“It was mega to win a Mega. Sorry! Couldn’t resist that one! The MediaGuardian Innovation Awards (Megas) are the pinnacle of media award world. They are the Oscars for our industry. To beat off competition from the likes of Nike to win a 2010 Mega is amazing.
All the team worked really hard developing the MirrorMe application and took risks to push both the technical and creative boundaries. It is humbling to receive recognition from the key movers and shakers in the digital community for this project.”
