In a year which saw TH_NK win numerous new business contracts while continuing to produce outstanding creative work, it is easy to see why we have been nominated for the North East Business Awards.

The Awards, which are now in their seventh year, are highly regarded as a benchmark of which companies are leading the way in the region's business community. The annual celebration of success takes place this year on May 24th, where TH_NK will be up against the B Group and Dynamic Ceramics to take home the prize.

This most recent nomination comes hot on the heels of a host of awards earned by TH_NK in 2006. MD Tarek Nseir was named North East Young Businessperson of the year, and the company was rated ‘top interactive agency in the North East' and ‘digital agency of the year' by leading industry titles NMA and The Drum respectively. We also achieved accreditation as Investors in People at the start of this year, setting us well on the way to an even more successful 2007.

It's very satisfying to see our hard work recognised by the North East business community with this nomination. 2006 was an outstanding year for us, and now we are settled in to our fantastic new office I am sure there will be plenty more inspiring creative work produced by the team in 2007.
