Clockwork Active Media Systems

Minneapolis, MN -- Medical bills at Clockwork Active Media Systems have been steadily increasing since the beginning of the new year reports President, Nancy Lyons. "Just yesterday, production specialist Sharyn Morrow sprained her wrist lifting the Davey Award we won for Premier Marine (www.pontoons.com)." Morrow was unavailable for comment, but was notably wearing a wrist brace.

Other staff members have reported paper cuts from Web Award certificates, and repetitive stress injuries from the framing and hanging of those same certificates. "I'm not sure how much longer I can work under these conditions," stated developer Zachary Drew. "I have to wear sunglasses in the office to avoid the glare off all these statuettes. It's a real nuisance!"

We are doing everything in our power to make the best of this," stated CTO Kurt Koppelman. "We try to make the working environment as comfortable as possible, but if the awards keep coming at this rate, employees may have to buck up and accept some temporary discomfort."

So far during this season, Clockwork has been awarded:

• 3 Silver Davey Awards
• 3 Standard of Excellence WebAwards from the Web Marketing Association
• 1 Best of Industry WebAward from the Web Marketing Association
• 5 Silver W3 Awards from the International Academy of Visual Arts
• 1 IMA Best in Class Award for www.clockwork.net

Clockwork was also named a Top 25 Web Developer by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal as well as on of the Twin Cities' Great Places to Work.
