Pride of Britain

We had a great day in the radio studio yesterday talking Pride of Britain with the Daily Mirror's Peter Willis.

Peter was encouraging people to nominate someone extraordinary in their community for the awards which recognise unsung heroes.

If you know someone a dedicated charity fundraiser, a truly courageous child or adult, or someone who's made a real difference to the local community, you've still got just over 24 hours to nominate them. Find out more at www.prideofbritain.com.

Now we're looking forward to the big night itself at the end of October!

Let the Fun & Games Commence!

After months of rehearsals, our very own Ed Naish is gearing up for his moment in the spotlight when he takes part in the Olympic opening ceremony.

Although Danny Boyle's spectacular involves a cast of thousands, he shouldn't be too hard to spot as he's one of the first people on and will be wearing some rather distinctive sporting attire! (refer to last week's Sun for a sneak preview!)

We wish him all the very best!

Olympian in our midst

Okay, so Usain Bolt isn't running our production department, despite his impressive turn in the Virgin Media ads, but we do have a representative at the greatest show on earth. The person in question is, in fact, our account Manager Ed Naish, who has been selected to be part of the opening ceremony. We're all very proud of him, and can't wait to see what costume he has to wear!

Another great landmark for Media Bounty as we recently passed 350,000 views for our YouTube channel. Not bad considering it was launched less than 2 years ago.

We're extremely pleased how our production department is going and now that it's in-house we're expecting the big 500,000 to come around in no time at all.

New Year - New Client!

Our hard work pays off when we work on campaigns. Clients that try us out tend to be happy with the outcome and work with us again and again.

It's always nice to expand the portfolio though and we're all excited and enthused at the prospect of working on an upcoming campaign with new client, Debenhams.

2011? Bring it on!

The most depressing day of the year is out of the way. The days are slowly getting longer and the nights shorter - we're heading in the right direction.

And after a storming 2010 everyone here at Media Bounty is enjoying getting well and truly 'stuck in' to 2011.

Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. This year we decided to make a donation to Shelter instead of posting Christmas cards, not only does this save some trees but it also allows us to share some festive goodwill with the people that really need it.

See you all in 2011

Media Bounty Celebrates the Pride of Britain

Media Bounty is proud to once again be supporting the Daily Mirror’s Pride of Britain Awards.

As well as arranging radio interviews with awards founder and associate editor of the Daily Mirror, Peter Willis, and ceremony host, Carol Vorderman, we’ll also be lending our support to the PR team on the night.

The Pride of Britain Awards celebrate the country’s true unsung heroes, and was Britain’s most popular award show last year - with more viewers than even the Brits or the Baftas. Those taking part this year include Prince Charles, the Prime Minister and Simon Cowell.

Media Bounty secures its 100th acre of rainforest

Here at Media Bounty we're celebrating after securing our 100th acre of critically threatened habitat in partnership with environmental charity the World Land Trust.

Since we launched in 2008 we have been funding the purchase of one or more acres of critically threatened rainforest habitat through the charity for every campaign undertaken. However, it was especially fitting that the 100th acre was purchased in the name of Kenco, considering the coffee brand's Rainforest Alliance status and its commitment to reduce energy consumption and waste through their Eco Refill packs.

World Land Trust, whose patrons include Sir David Attenborough, helps purchase and save land in partnership with local NGOs to protect habitats and their wildlife in perpetuity. WLT is currently supporting urgent land purchase and protection, working with in-country partners, in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Ecuador, India, Kenya, Mexico and Borneo.
