27th April 2012, Edinburgh: LBi bigmouthmedia, the media arm of global marketing and technology agency LBi, has been acknowledged as one of Scotland’s best places to work by the Great Place to Work® Institute at its annual awards this week, achieving accolades for having an exceptional company culture, HR processes, training and staff development initiatives.

LBi bigmouthmedia was ranked as the 3rd Best Workplace in Scotland, beating multi-nationals including coffee giant Starbucks and becoming the only digital media and technology business on the top 10 list.

During the awards ceremony at the Radison Blu Hotel in Glasgow, LBi bigmouthmedia also walked away with the Learning & Development Excellence Award, praising the wide array of award-winning learning and development initiatives available to its staff.

The Best Workplaces programme was launched in Scotland in 2010, as part of a strategic initiative supported by Skills Development Scotland, with 25 organisations each year being publicly recognised as Scotland’s Best Workplaces.

While LBi bigmouthmedia has featured in Great Place to Work’s UK top 50 for the past five years, this is the first time the company has chosen to benchmark its internal procedures against other Scottish businesses.

Phil Gripton, Chief Operating Officer, LBi bigmouthmedia, said: “It’s a day of celebration for LBi bigmouthmedia as we show the world just how much of a great business we all work in.

“At a time when it’s a really tough economy out there it’s great to be part of a progressive business that is doing great things like this. This is deserved recognition for the hard work every member of the team puts in on a daily basis.”

SXSW attendees honor LBi with People’s Choice Award for Americans Elect platform

Posted by Calvin Lau March 14th, 2012

Award marks LBi’s commitment to blending creativity and technology to produce truly ground-breaking work

New York: Global marketing and technology agency LBi has been honoured with the prestigious People’s Choice Award at SXSW in Austin Texas, the world renowned festival of technology, creativity and culture.

LBi was recognised last night for the online platform that the agency’s New York team designed and built in partnership with Americans Elect, a movement that harnesses the ubiquitous and collaborative nature of the web to empower the American people to nominate their own choice for president.

Americans Elect is holding the first-ever online presidential primary. Between now and June, every registered voter in America-regardless of party-is invited to sign up and help choose a third ticket for president. Following the online convention in June, the Americans Elect ticket will be on the 2012 ballot in all 50 states-and the American people will have directly nominated their choice for president for first time ever.

Joshua Levine, Chief Technology Officer, Americans Elect said: “This award confirms that Americans Elect is not just a growing political movement, but also a groundbreaking and innovative tech startup. We’re honored to be recognised alongside so many other companies at SXSW using technology to empower people and improve the world around us.”

The People’s Choice Award recognizes LBi’s unique ability to create digital platforms that add greater value and bring new possibilities to people’s lives.

Cedric Devitt, Executive Creative Director, LBi New York, said: “Winning the People’s Choice Award at SXSW Interactive is especially gratifying, as the platform is dedicated to giving people the power to choose in our political system like never before.”

In 2011, the People’s Choice Award was handed to collaborative online shopping website Groupon.
