'Oscar' wins expected for Stardotstar as agency lines up for four BIMAs | Print |  Email to a friend
Monday, 17 November 2008
‘The Oscar’s of the … industry’ can be a rather hackneyed way of catching the attention when it comes to awards-related PR releases, but How-do can certainly forgive Manchester’s Stardotstar for rolling out that old chestnut after hearing of the team’s latest news.

‘The Oscar’s of the … industry’ can be a rather hackneyed way of catching the attention when it comes to awards-related PR releases, but How-do can certainly forgive Manchester’s Stardotstar for rolling out that old chestnut after hearing of the team’s latest news.
Last year's winning work
The firm, which has a payroll of only five folks, has been nominated for a total of four British Interactive Media Association (BIMA) awards, and has found itself up against competition from the BBC, MSN, Honda and Nike.

Stardotstar finds itself in such elite company due to the success of its time-travelling sheep game ‘Quantum Sheep and the Wonderful 'Wolds’ and its hearmanchester.com project - an audio tour of Manchester fronted by punk singer and music pundit John Robb.

The Quantum sheep game was designed to be played by young visitors to the Cotswolds to help them find out more about the area, while Hearmanchester.com was commissioned by Manchester City Council.

Stardotstar is no stranger to the BIMAs, having scooped three of the gongs last year.

It works with clients such as Channel 4, 3i, GMPTE, Astra Zeneca and the Department of Transport.

The BIMA winners will be announced on 27 November at a ceremony at the Bloomsbury Club, London.

Amongst Manchester and the North Wests absolute very best creative agencies in their field. The standard they set for themselves is second to none. I'm a huge fan of what they do. 
Shame their own website is naff

Well done Stardotstar - all the work I've seen you do is exceptional and those of you who I've met or had to deal with are all jolly nice chaps.  
 
For the record, I disagree with Simon Wharton, I think your website is modest but tasteful.
