BIMAs make it a hat-trick!
25/11/2009

Friday 19th of November will go down in Koko folk law as a date never to be forgotten.

The night in question saw us visiting London for one of the most prestigious events in the digital industries calendar. The venue was the very fitting Koko club in Camden and the event was the hyper exclusive BIMA awards (British Interactive Media Association).

Koko were nominated in 2 categories at this year’s event and we were delighted to come away with one of the fabulous trophies. Our game Romeo, won the judges ‘Special Achievement Award for Viral Spread’ and we quote...

“In addition to the categories already published, the judges selected entries that stood out as exceptionally stimulating examples of the specialist interactive crafts.”

Now you might think that walking up on stage to collect our gong was the best part of the night but oh no, it gets better!

All of those people who were lucky enough to be at the event saw one of our directors, Mr. Stuart Howarth (let’s make sure we fully name and shame him) fall through the gap in the stage in front everyone... oh how we laughed!

Stu’s claim that it was the excitement of picking up a BIMA that caused him to miss the gaping hole in the floor is very weak at best. Given the state of him the next morning, the rest of the team are standing firm that too much bubbly was the real culprit for his comical stumble.

As you can imagine, everyone here at Koko is utterly delighted to scoop a BIMA so we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the judges who voted for us to win the award. It was a fantastic event and we will certainly be going back next year!

All in all it has been a great year here at Koko and our BIMA now resides in the trophy cabinet next to the awards and commendations we picked up at the Roses Design Awards and DADI Awards earlier this year.
