[BizPod 002] OPA chair Adrian Hewlett on the inaugural Bookmarks

19 Nov 2008

Last week saw the inaugural Bookmarks awards ceremony being held in Johannesburg. A lot has been said since, both offline and online (including Twitter). In episode two of BizPod/Interactive, Bizcommunity.com's new podcast which aims to unpack all the latest trends in digital marketing and social media, host Japie Swanepoel chats to Adrian Hewlett, chairman of the Online Publishers Association (OPA), about the good, the bad and the ugly of the event.

Everything - from the origin of the awards, the international judges, nominees having to pay for event tickets, categories with no winners, creative versus ROI type entries and those confidential documents that were distributed on the showreel CD - is discussed.
