Second time lucky for Octopus at PR Week Awards? Fingers crossed

Tonight team Octopus is taking the short journey down the M4 to London's glamorous Mayfair, where we shall be in attendance at this year's PR Week Awards.

Having walked away with the Best Marketing Communications Business trophy for our Customer Kings campaign for Cisco at last year's awards, we're keeping all our fingers crossed this year as we're up for Best Technology Campaign for Customer Kings yet again! Marking another successful year in which we've helped Cisco to really set the SME agenda in the UK through the Customer Kings programme, tonight's festivities will certainly make for a memorable evening. Here's hoping for a few less sore heads than last year however.

If you're going to be there tonight then please Tweet the team @OctopusComms and let us know, as we'd love to meet some new faces and catch-up with some old ones for a quick drink or two. You can also keep up with the evening's winners and riders by following the #PRWAwards10 hashtag.

Good luck to everyone tonight from Octopus Communications!

A little bit of history repeating itself…

We like to think of ourselves as a fairly modest bunch at Octopus. Well, most of the time. But every now and then we pull something out of the bag that just deserves a good old pat on the back; this week happens to be one of those weeks. We're very proud (and not a bit smug) to say our very own Customer Kings campaign for Cisco has been shortlisted for not one, but two awards this week. These are on top of the four nominations and the PR Week award that the inaugural Customer Kings campaign scooped last year.

When we started to think about award entries for Customer Kings 2010, we approached it with mild trepidation - could we really pull off something better than last year? Had we set the bar too high? Well its seems that we just might.

Today we found out that not only had Customer Kings 2010 been shortlisted for this year's PR Week Award for Best Technology Campaign but we're also in the running for Best B2B PR Campaign at the B2B Marketing Awards. So far so good!

Fingers crossed!
