What. A. Night. 👏👏
Now that the dust has settled after the big wins last week, we’re in a reflective mood at Kooba this week. It reminded us that way back in 2011 Kooba entered the The Spider Awards for the very first time.
Back then we were a very small agency, literally 3 people on Waterloo Road with huge ambition and a desire to make great work that was high performing but also laser focused on the metrics that mattered most to our clients.
Dara Ó Briain hosted the The Spider Awards that year, the digital landscape was unrecognisable from how we understand it today and as an economy, Ireland was still reeling from the economic crash and the arrival of the dreaded Troika.
In 2011 we had never entered any awards ever before. Incredibly we walked away that night with the Best Agency award, beating some hugely respected established agencies that were 5 times larger than us. We were honestly as shocked as anyone else.
The Spider Awards had marked our arrival and it had a hugely positive impact on us as a young agency, it gave us legitimacy and attracted some large brands to work with us.
Fast forward to last Friday, 14 years later, where we won Best Agency again as well as Best in Universal Design for our wonderful client SETU.
We're still taking it all in and we are so so thankful and grateful to our incredible team, our treasured clients and to the Spiders too for their long standing support for our industry over the past 25 years.
These rewards reflect a year of hard work and innovation across all of our teams, and the consistent delivery of excellent results to all of our clients.
The entire Kooba team has a lot to be proud of… we are literally only getting started.
