Bigger Isn’t Always Better, That’s Why We’re Only 11th.

It’s starting to feel a bit like award season around here or something. First Beck & Gallagher tamed the “lions” of the media industry and were rewarded by being “Ones to Watch” over at Marketing Magazine, and now Business in Vancouver is throwing accolades our way by citing Engine as the 11th biggest Web Development Agency in British Columbia.

So shame on us for thinking our new 7-inch bullet proof glass, complete with hot tub, laser alarmed, temperature controlled, disaster proof trophy cabinet that takes up a large part of our Gastown studio, a bit over the top. It actually might not be big enough, especially since the Lotus Awards are tomorrow night.

Beck & Gallagher Named Two to Watch

There have been many great duo’s over the history of pop-culture, fiction, and of course media. Henrik & Daniel, Laurel and Hardy, Jan and Dean, Simon & Garfunkel, oh and let’s not forget Siegfried & Roy. (hah!)

Well it looks like we’ll be adding another duo to the list of greats, since our very own Beck & Gallagher were included on an impressive list of young people leading the way in the marketing industry from 10 to an unprecedented accommodation of 11.

Beck & Gallagher, as in Stephen Beck and Richard Gallagher, both Founding Partners and Creative Directors here at Engine Digital, have been named to Marketing Magazines “Ones to Watch” list for 2009, or in this case, “two to watch.” Since one couldn’t be mentioned without the other in regards to the success of another benchmark year at Engine Digital, the folks at Marketing Magazine decided to include the pair in their exclusive list.

All of us here at Engine Digital get the opportunity to marvel at the expertise of these guys in action every day so it’s nice to have their efforts appreciated by, and along with, their peers in the industry.

Congratulations to all the other “Ones to Watch,” and especially Beck and Gallagher, who will be receiving complimentary lion taming lessons as a gift from the rest of the staff here at Engine.

What’s Your Social Media Policy?

Social media is unavoidable for anyone with a desk job and a finger (at least a little bit) on the pulse of things. Let’s face it, for those of us connected, sooner or later you’re going to get the distraction and head over to Facebook. For some employers, time equates 100% to money and every minute wasted is a dollar lost – an unfortunate but realistic factor of capitalism. But for many on the employee side, powering through the day can be a challenge when the social sphere is only a click away.

Homage to Gastown

Engine has always been Gastown based. Some of us have only ever worked in this neighborhood, myself included. Some of us live and work in Gastown. It’s a second home for some, and an only home for others. And so when we decided to create Engine, Gastown was not just an obvious choice, it was really the only area to consider.
