This year’s IVCA Awards at Grosvenor House saw a return for Hotdog and Mustard to claim Gold in the public relations category for our self-initiated anti-knife campaign – ‘Knice’.

Friday’s award reflects the continued success of the campaign which has aired across Turner, Virgin Media and MTV Networks and continues its huge online presence with approaching 300,000 hits since launch: www.knice.co.uk

The breakthrough marketing resource for Discovery scooped a Silver in Prague this week. The Species Book was Hotdog and Mustards first foray into print so we’re immensely proud to pick up the award in the Best Collateral Material category.

After spotting a couple of our award wins Freeview got in touch and invited HD&M to pitch for a series of five instructional films for users of the Freeview service. After winning the pitch it was revealed that the clinching factor of a very tight decision was our proposal to use the great Brian Blessed as a bodyless voice bellowing his simple instructions to a surprised Freeview user. The films are now online and all 5 can be seen at www.freeview.co.uk/freeview/Help-Videos

The Body Shop has once again engaged Hotdog and Mustard to create a series of short films. These films are about their ethical trade policy and the many communities that benefit from the initiative. The films will be shown globally both in store for consumers and internally for The Body Shop’s staff.
