Innovative Newcastle-based Indigo Multimedia have scooped three wins in the region's Digital Awards. With over 130 businesses short-listed for awards this triple success is a great achievement for Indigo, who picked up more awards than any other nominee on the evening. The shortlist was drawn up from entries receiving the most votes via the Digital Awards website, with the final winners being chosen by panel of expert judges from across the region.

Speaking at the awards ceremony Andy Graney, Web Director from Indigo said "It was a fantastic evening and great not only for us but also for the region's digital industry. We are elated to win three awards and pleased that another of our websites entered by the client, won with www.voluntaryskills.com/."

A sentiment echoed by John Adams, AV Director at Indigo whose project for UK Sport, www.100percentme.co.uk won the 'Best use of online film and video' category. "As a North East company we are delighted to be involved in such a high profile national and international campaign for UK Sport. We feel the digital communications industry in the North East has really come of age and these awards are an opportunity to celebrate those achievements. We are finding that London-based clients are now looking towards companies such as ours for innovative solutions based on value for money and quality of service."

Since its launch, the 100%ME campaign has made a massive impact in the way information on drug-free sport is accessed and disseminated. Indigo have produced hard-hitting films aimed at driving home the drug-free sport message to elite athletes, as well as winning recognition for their clever use of video content on the website at the NE Digital Awards. The site itself features endorsements from many of the UK's respected athletes including Chris Hoy, Darren Campbell, Tanni Grey Thompson and Nicole Cooke.

The NE Digital Awards seem set to go from strength to strength, with the 2008/9 campaign due for launch this summer, giving local companies the opportunity to firmly establish the North East as a vibrant hub for digital development.
