A hearty congratulations to the EC team for winning their first award! And that too a GOLD! We now have proof to back up our claim that The Great Driving Challenge is India’s best social media campaign of 2009! Thanks to the committee behind the Indian Digital Media Awards 2010 for recognizing our work. We promise to deliver a lot more kick-ass digital marvels!

Our award inspired in-house artist Prashant so much, he whipped up this masterpiece in the wee hours of the morning.

It showcases the team effort aptly. Starts with the 10,000 applications received for the Great Driving Challenge. Continues to show the Top 100, the server crash we faced because of multitudes of visits… the issue of fake votes we painstakingly resolved to the final shortlist of Top 3 and winners of the Great Driving Challenge being announces. And right after that, EC passing the finish line at the IDMA 2010 with a beautiful crystal globe in hands!

Put a pic of the trophy up too!!!

Well It was EXPERIENCE COMMERCE who got the AWARD ! Some people even after winning GOLD for thier Blog want to take away OTHER people’s CREDIT !

Well People winning GOLD ! DO not have to be CHEAP !
Why stoop so low !
Rupesh Mandal did not get the Award ! The way it has been put on the BLOG it seems he did ! That is RUBBISH.

@Mukesh,
Please re-read the statement written at WATblog, it says “Rupesh Mandal who has worked on Great Driving Challenge for Experience Commerce team”, there is mention of “Experience Commerce team”, the word “team” is there. Of course, when your work win you must say you win. and more important is when you don’t then you take the responsibility, which i guess you won’t understand.

Also, note that the post the author has written himself and has not been influenced to do so. Author has written the post in the context of explaining that the people he has worked with in the past got some sort of rewards at the same time. Be it Eka winning the DQ quiz, me winning the TGDC or WATblog winning the best blog award. If you have any doubt in mind, please post a comment on WATblog post.

Also, I would request Nidhi to publish my last comment where I wrote to update the TGDC facebook page as the users participated in the contest too were part of the campaign and they too should be notified of the same.

That’s all I have to say.

congrats
