2009 was the year everything changed. Twitter exploded, facebook grew up, YouTube boomed to one billion views per day, and we earned the respect of traditional media! It has allowed GoGladiator to create a wonderful business, a successful Ustream show, & many life long friendships! This is my way to honor those who got it right. Enjoy!

GoGladiator Top in Corporate Customer Service Award 2009 – @ComcastCares @ComcastSteve
Comcast is one of those companies people love to hate. After all, it is a cable provider. However, Comcast embraced social media as a customer service tool in 2009, and people loved it. The @ComcastCares team is quick to help with a question and/or a problem, and they have made the customer service at their company the best in class!

GoGladiator Top in Social Media Hotel/Resort Industry – @hsbresort
Horseshoe Bay Resort is a premier lake and golf resort located outside of Austin, TX. They are one of the few resorts in the country that have embraced facebook, Twitter, and Youtube to bring a heightened experience to resort guests. They are offering golf and tennis tips on Youtube, as well as some really fun behind the scenes video of resort staff making the Horseshoe Bay Experience happen! For the management team, social media is less about marketing, and more about engaging and creating as much value as possible for their guests.

GoGladiator Social Media Inspirational Award 2009 – @Dafna_M

Her vision was to travel to all 50 states in 52 weeks to create a Blog/Vlog documenting the unsung heroes in America that are making a real difference in their communities. There were times when her funds ran very low, travel was difficult, and personal family sacrifices took their emotional toll. However, she focused on her task, put the interest of others first, and accomplished her goal despite the many obstacles that stood in her way.

GoGladiator Social Media Hall of Fame Corporate Leader Award – @Ford @ScottMonty
What @ScottMonty and @Ford Motor Company have accomplished in 2009 is nothing short of monumental. Ford was an aging company with an image problem in a dying industry dominated by government bailouts and job cuts. However, with a great corporate culture and a solid mix of traditional/social media marketing, it was cool to drive a Ford again thanks to campaigns like American Idol sponsorships and the Fiesta Movement.
