The biggest THANK YOU ever to all who attended the inaugural You Are The Media Game Nite yesterday, and an extra high five for the four fantastic contestants who took part in our live game show CHAMPIONS OF THE MEDIA. Here’s how the leaderboard is looking..
THE MATCH REPORT: Champions Of The Media, Thursday 31st March 2022 at The Snug, Christchurch
In match 1, Lucy Lips (Lucy Whittington) and ‘The Suit’ (Josh Williams) hit the ground running as both contestants and audience experienced the game format for the first time. Dazzled by the bright lights of The Snug Arena, it took a couple of questions, but once they found their grove, they each banked a handful of points for round 1.
In their second round, Lucy Lips impressed with her knowledge of Maslow’s Hierachy of Needs. ‘The Suit’ was robbed of his 5 point question, correctly naming three of the four P’s of marketing, but missing out on the last of the set.
Lucy Lips specialist subject Airports and Airlines won her another 2 points, but it was audience member Christophe Stourton who held the answer to America’s biggest airport. In a post match score revision ‘The Suit’ has been awarded an additional point for his NFT and Cryptocurrency specialist subject for a contentious issue around the earliest known NFT.
We returned for match 2 with Enrique Burnado (Rich Burn) facing down ‘The Smiling Assassin’ (Caitlyn Walters). Burnado almost struck a perfect first round with 9/10 points. The Smiling Assassin took home a respectable 4, but played her cards just right in round 2, closing the lead with her 5 point question.
In the end it was Burnardo who secured the victory, absolutely smashing his specialist subject, Spanish Food (Chupa Chup anyone?). The Smiling Assassin considered a last minute specialist subject change to the US sitcom Friends, but stuck, admirably, with a tough set of questions on Influencer Marketing.
Congratulations to our first two Champions! 👏 Much love to Mark Masters for making all of this possible.
