I enjoyed the Bees Awards gala evening at the fabulous Legion of Honor museum in San Francisco. It was well attended and a well-dressed crowd, making a nice change from the typical geek events I go to where dressing down is considered dressing up.
Bastien Beauchamp and his team did a good job of presenting the event and keeping things moving along.
No ad to show here.
There were a lot of awards, 16, in categories such as “Best 140 Characters Message (SMS, Tweet).”
Here is the list of winners including “Best Agency” Saatchi & Saatchi LA. This agency seemed a bit over represented in a bunch of categories and also over-represented at the awards with a small army of attendees.
I spoke to Leyl Black, from Spark PR, one of the judges. She said she really enjoyed being a judge but that she was the only woman judge out of more than 20 judges.
The next Bees Awards event is May 10, 2011 and you can apply to be a judge.
