Detroit Labs, a mobile apps shop that is less than two years old, took “Best in Show” during MEDIA magazine’s Creative Media Awards Thursday night in New York City for the “Chevy Game Time” app it developed for General Motors’ Chevrolet division.
The “second-screen” app enabled 2011 Super Bowl fans to experience alternate
content and interact with television coverage of the Big Game in a way that the CMA judges deemed to be the most creative overall use of a medium in this year’s competition.
Co-Founder and CEO Paul Glomski and colleague Joshua Diskin seemed genuinely surprised when they took the stage for the second time to receive the “Best in Show” award, after previously winning in the “New/Emerging/Experimental Media” category for “Chevy Game Time.”
“This is incredible,” Glomski told MEDIA, “we’re only a little over a year old.”
With the exception of Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, which collaborated with Detroit Labs on the “Chevy Game Time” app development, no other agency won multiple CMAs this year, marking a first for the nine-year-old awards show. Goodby also won in the Business Media category for its “Brand Solutions” campaign for client Adobe Systems.
Other category winners at the CMAs include:
