AWARD MEMBERSHIP TOTAL NOW 508 AND COUNTING
AWARD's target of a record 500 strong membership before Christmas has just been reached, thanks to Blog Power! AWARD thanks all 508 members in Australia and New Zealand for getting behind the creative organisation. With more members-only benefits than ever and more planned (including the AWARD Presentation in early November), the creative community have realised membership has its privileges!
Of course, you can still become a member if you haven't already - just email michael@campaignbrief.com and the list will continue to grow.
This latest blitz follows the success of the mid-year membership drive conducted while the organisation was becoming independent of its management company. Nearly 200 members were added during this period, more than doubling the membership, which had dropped to a sad, record low of 160 members. A 500+ membership will give the non-profit organisation the solid base of support it needs to fight its good fight into the future - and the means to give back to members incredible value for their membership.
One change AWARD has made recently is to include Planners on the credits list of work that will appear in the 2007 AWARD Book, and extend Gold membership eligibilty to any Planners that do so. In addition, Planners who have been involved with any work that has been accepted in any AWARD Annual since 1979 (as long as AWARD can verify that!) are also eligible for Gold membership.
We are compiling a running list of new and renewed members right here on the CB Blog. So if you want to join the illustrious company below, email michael@campaignbrief.com and Lynchy will put your name on the list and pass your details on to AWARD.

I s Davis Droga related to David Droga?
He's hot.
I'm not the best typist in the mornings, 11:33am. Thanks for pointing out my error. Now he's David again.
"Big names coming back into the fold"
Brilliant strategic headlline Lynchy. Everyone will want their name on that list now.
Great, let's all join. Pay too much for membership, pay over the top to enter awards, pay fuck loads to go to the scabby awards night, then pay through the bastard nose for the annual. No wonder big names are coming back into the field, they're the only ones who can afford it.
You don't read well, do you 11:35? The annual is included in your membership, and membership also gets you a discount on the award night ticket.
With an AWARD Annual (cost price $190) + 2 Free lunches + 1 Free cocktail party and discounts to the dinner and Graduation, our calculator is totalling quite a bit more than the membership price of $260.
But it is still AWARD.
And just on Lucy's point, it's a tax-deductible cost, so you'll get back over $100 of the $260 at tax time.
How are you going with this lofty target now, Lynchie?
3 from STW
None from SOM.
Why's that do you think? Surely, they're not banned from joining an industry organisation.
GOD this is boring! I might actually have to do some work if you keep this up lynchy.
Well actually, John Nankervis has joined from SOM.
When they crack the 500 you should go buy yourself a beer, Lynchie. Awesome effort.
We have heard a rumour the reason for the 500 target membership drive is that this year's AWARD Awards will be an exclusive members only event at Sydney's most famous venue. The hangers on will not be allowed to buy tickets. True, Lynchy?
Anyone noticed that all the 'Big Ad', 'Boony' boys from Melbourne - Josh, Ben, Grant and Ant - are not even members, despite having raided the AWARD Pencil chest last year, and presumably again in November! Same goes for Jonathan Kneebone at The Glue Society! Come on lads, pay your dues.
6:39,
They have paid their dues. It's called an entry fee.
Dear AwardWatch, The boys from Glue Society all signed up this morning. Thanks Jonathan, Gary, James, Matt and Luke. Also Fiona Leeming from Nitro Melbourne did too, so only one more to go. Still no response from the lads from Patts Y&R Melbourne but I expect they will soon.
6:39, no it's not, it's an entry fee paid by the agency in the hope of getting an award. Membership is about individuals supporting the ideals of AWARD. Now that The Glue Society gang have signed up, they are pretty much the only high profile creatives in Australia and NZ not to do so.
WELL DONE LYNCHY.

hey, who's that old guy in the picture?
Does he run the Awards Super Fund we've been hearing rumours about?
That old guy is Bob Isherwood, the luckiest man in advertsing. Did one ad thirty years ago and half another one in the 80's but...............got Kevin Roberts the gig as CEO. They've been joined at the hip ever since. What a fucking imposter. And check out the hair. This guy doesn't know when or how to act his age, so spends his life trying to look a groovy 50 y.o when he should be put down or put out to pasture. No-one in the business has ever taken this guy seriously.
Stop picking on the old bloke. Christ, talk about killing the goose that's looking after the golden eggs!
Agree totally 1:42. Leave thje grey goose alone in his golden years..
