Greenroom Digital, the recently acquired digital arm of Momentum UK, has been named Marketing/PR Agency of Year at this year's Home Entertainment Week (HEW) Awards held in June.

The HEW Awards is one of the industry's most prestigious awards shows, and celebrates the very best the UK home entertainment industry has to offer.

Greenroom Digital beat nine agencies, which were shortlisted to three, to the Marketing/PR Agency of the Year accolade.

The HEW accolade is the second time Greenroom has been named Agency of the Year in 2008.

In April, the agency won Supplier/Agency of the Year at the equally prestigious British Video Association Awards (BVA), and secures Greenroom's position as the number 1 entertainment agency in the UK.

After its initial entry, Greenroom was shortlisted and invited to present its body of work over the last year to the HEW panel of judges.

The judges stated that Greenroom "clearly stood out from the rest as an innovator", with a "commitment to embrace all available media".

They summed up by saying: "Greenroom proved themselves to be an agency for today and tomorrow".

Jon Hamm of Greenroom Digital, and now Momentum's digital director, said: "We were delighted to have been awarded Supplier/Agency of the Year at the BVA Awards.

"To have won this HEW award in addition is unprecedented.

"Both these awards shows reward the best UK home entertainment talent, and it's fantastic for our work to be acclaimed in such distinguished company".

Paul Biggins, ceo of Momentum London, added: "Winning one of these awards is great, but winning both is amazing.

"These awards are testament to the excellence of Greenroom's work".
