There's no better way to start the New Year than with an honour and The Drum magazine, our favourite outside-of-the-M25 trade magazine, have bestowed greatness on the Inbox elite team.

In their New Year's Honours list, we are have been awarded the Best South-West Digital Agency. High praise indeed and we're very happy indeed. We're not sure if that means we all get MBEs or OBEs, but even if we don't, it gives us a warm and fuzzy feeling inside and that's lovely. Especially as there's snow outside.

They say we're "Bristol's Inbox", but we've also got lots of people in our sunny Swindon office, so let's make that clear. We're a two-office family, baby.

And you can see from this piccie below that we're a happy bunch of goons, and with our palm tree and beach behind us, the sun always shines at Inbox.

So thanks to The Drum and may this be the first of many gongs in 2009.
