We're Finalists in the Marketing & Advertising Recruitment Awards 2011!

...And it's all thanks to YOU.

No, really, we mean it.

We were recently nominated in the upcoming Marketing & Advertising Recruitment Awards (http://www.ukmara.co.uk) and, thanks to your votes, we are now finalists across three categories:

Best Newcomer (we're 18 months young, but wise beyond our years)
Best Social Media Strategy (some would argue Twitter was invented specifically to spread the world about our fantastic jobs)*
Best Recruitment Website (admit it: it's gorgeous).

We've got this far because you voted for us. The fact that we're now finalists for three different awards, against stiff competition, tells us that the connections we've made - be they clients or candidates - have taken the time to lend their support, and for that we are seriously grateful.

And now?
Now for the hard work: We're in the process of submitting supporting material, to prove to the judges that we're worthy of at least one (oh, go on then: three) of these awards. We've got plenty to shout about, and are as confident as can be...However, if you're reading this and have been wowed by the service we offer, please get in touch, as the most valuable proof of our worth will come via testimonials.

The MARA 2011 Awards take place on November 23rd at Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel, and we'll be there in full force, party dress and tuxedo'd up (I do not look great in a tux, and may provide photographic evidence of my tux-allergy after the awards). And we'll celebrate success, whether we win or not.

After all, we've got plenty to shout about:
2011 has been a fantastic year for NU Creative Talent: we're working with some of the finest brands around, speak daily to seriously talented candidates, are about to move to our new office (more here: http://www.nucreativetalent.co.uk/blog/we%E2%80%99re-our-way-morocco-st) and have recently welcomed on to the team our NU addition, Annelise Carling, who is doing so well that - at this rate - we'll soon have to expand even further.

Thanks for your support so far, we hope to do you proud on the night. And please excuse any hangovers the following morning...

*Okay, no one would argue that's the case. That'd be silly. Let's just agree that we're Social Media lovemonkeys.
