Prestigious Win for Amuzo at the Dorset Business Awards
Last night marked the annual gala dinner and presentation ceremony of the Dorset Business Awards. Amongst a long list of deserving winners from a multitude of sectors, Bournemouth-based games studio Amuzo scooped the top prize for Creative Digital Impact.
Having become part of the Unicorn Training Group earlier this year, Amuzo has continued to make its mark in the game and app development space – boasting an impressive list of global clients and consistently delivering projects that put creativity and excellence at the heart of everything they do.
This year, their entry focussed on a game that was developed and built for a well-known major toy company. Since its release in September this year, the product has not only been widely praised for its creativity, but has also reached number one in the app store across more than forty countries.
Managing Director of Amuzo Mike Hawkyward said: “We’re delighted to have been named winners of this year’s Creative and Digital Impact Award. This particular project was a joy to work on because of the immense creativity involved from the outset. I am – as ever – extremely proud of the entire team, as it is their vision, hard work and commitment that makes our success possible.
He continued: “These are exciting times for us. Our partnership with Unicorn has opened the business up to a multitude of new opportunities that allow us to bring the spirit of gaming to industry sectors we never thought possible before. Marrying a deep and established understanding of instructional design with our knowledge of great game design means we have the opportunity to respond to the rapidly-growing demands for gamified learning with uniquely creative and effective solutions.”
Peter Phillips, CEO of Unicorn Training Group, said: “Bournemouth is the UK’s fastest growing digital economy, with many talented and successful creative companies, so it is particularly pleasing that Amuzo should win this prestigious award.
As the newest members of the Unicorn Group, we have been hugely impressed with the creativity of the Amuzo team, the quality of their design and their ability to deliver that quality on time and in budget for some of the world’s biggest brands. I am delighted that their excellence has been publicly recognised.”
