Last night Cision attended the 12th<\/sup> annual<\/span> AOP Digital Publishing Awards<\/a>.\u00a0 If you are involved in the online publishing industry in any way, you were there, joining in the celebration of \u2018experimentation and creativity\u2019 that has ultimately led to the \u2018new products \u2018 and \u2018new approaches\u2019 which were the focal point of the night.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

From the Huffington Post UK<\/a> to Crash Lab\u2019s Channel 4 Snowman & Snowdog Game<\/a>, every aspect of the industry was represented in at least one of the 18 categories, the awards for which were hosted by the hilarious Chris Ramsey, who did a brilliant job of inciting roars and general noises of approval from every available space in room.<\/p>\n

\"pics,\"wordThanks to the weather, drinks were enjoyed on the roof terrace, before all nominees and supporters were ushered into the main room, which had a backdrop of Tweets of approval and excitement sent to @ukaop<\/a> or #aopawards<\/a>, shown throughout the night on large screens next to the stage. According to the Conversation Cloud created via Cision Social Media<\/a>, there was no main discussion point, with words such as \u2018love\u2019, \u2018tonight\u2019 and \u2018wins\u2019 being used in equal measure.<\/p>\n

One interesting thing to note from discussions which used the official hashtag is that \u2019Consumer\u2019 achieved more mentions than \u2018B2B\u2019, a possible sign of how important digital publishing is to different audiences.<\/p>\n

The winners for each of the 18 categories were decided by a panel of 26 judges who took into account the creativity, ingenuity and sheer hard work undertaken over the last 12 months. Each trophy was presented by one of the many sponsors or judges, with the categories and winners as follows:<\/p>\n

\"AwardThe evening concluded with a rendition of Abba songs by some talented ladies from the West End and a DJ set, which kept the digital publishing industry dancing until the small hours of the morning. Congratulations must go to everyone at AD TECH UK, one of the sponsors of the evening, who apparently all made it to their desks this morning:<\/p>\n

\n

What a fab night at the #aopawards<\/a>! Can’t believe everyone is sitting at their desks this morning! Thank you, @ukaop<\/a>!<\/p>\n
