Following the company’s successful rebrand at the Develop Conference in Brighton last month, Universally Speaking has been nominated for another Industry Service award, at the ME Awards 2008. The company is a strong contender in the Best Games Service Provider category, which will be judged by a panel of over 400 industry execs.

‘I’m delighted with this nomination,’ said Universally Speaking managing director Vickie Peggs. ‘It reflects our position as the localisation agency for the mobile sector. Our client list contains a who’s who of mobile entertainment. Mobile game services have become an increasingly important part of our business and we are committed to continued growth alongside our mobile partners.’

Universally Speaking marketing manager Connie Armstrong added, ‘This is our second nomination in a short time. We were finalists at the Develop Awards last month and here we are again. This award nomination gives us another opportunity to strengthen our new name and identity in this buoyant mobile market.’

Commenting on Universally Speaking’s nomination, key client Player X had this to say, ‘We love working with Universally Speaking. No deadline too tight, no concept too difficult to translate while keeping all the humour intact and cultural references transposed. They’re the best!’

The ME Awards 2008 will take place on Thursday 25th of September at the Royal Garden Hotel, London.
