Marketwire’s July Hawk Eye Winners
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012It’s hard to believe that another month has come and gone and we have some new Editorial Hawk Eye awards to give out.
This month’s winners did an amazing job and catching errors within a release and helped our clients avoid serious fall backs from the mistakes. Congratulations goes out to Deniellie Dy for noticing a financial number in the headline didn’t match the financial number in the first paragraph of a release. She also caught the wrong date listed for a conference call on another client. Melissa Houde from our Montreal office was quick enough to catch the incorrect spelling of a Minister’s name for a release relating to that Ministry.
To get to know our editors better we had them answer some fun filled questions which the graciously answered below.
Denielli Dy, Associate Editor (Los Angeles)
- What does Beyond Words mean to you?
Beyond Words, for me, means combining actions with words – not just settling with written verbiage, but backing it up with action. - What’s your favourite movie?
(500) Days of Summer ♥ - What’s your favourite movie quote?
“I take pleasure in the details. You know… a Quarter-Pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter become a cackle… and I, I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt.” – Troy Dyer, Reality Bites - What’s your favourite colour?
White - What’s your favourite day of the week?
Friday, it’s my day off. :) - Cat or Dog?
Dog - What was the last book you read?
Henry and June: From the Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin - If you could meet anyone dead or alive, who would that be?
Jesus - If you could travel to any region in the world, where would it be?
Europe ♥ - Windows, iOS, or Android?
iOS - If I could eat any food what would it be?
I have not tried foie gras, so maybe I’d pick that. - If you were stranded on a desert island, what would you want with you?
Cell phone! So I can ask for help and keep myself occupied while waiting. Plus, I can take beautiful pictures of the island and Instagram them!
- What would you do during a zombie attack?
Play dead, teehee
Melissa Houde, Editor (Montreal)
- What does Beyond Words mean to you?
That we do such a great job, and offer such great service that it leaves the client utterly speechless. - What’s your favourite movie?
I don’t know if I have a favorite movie per se, but I’ll definitely watch any of the Bridget Jones anytime! - What’s your favourite movie quote?
This did make me laugh out loud: Mark Darcy: Alright Cleaver, outside. Daniel Cleaver: Should I bring my dueling pistols or my swords? (I suppose that as is it isn’t all that funny, but that whole scene, to me, is comedy gold.) - What’s your favourite colour?
It’s a tie between green and yellow :) - What’s your favourite day of the week?
Saturday - Cat or Dog?
Dog - What was the last book you read?
Game of Thrones: A Storm of Swords – Slowly making my way through all 5 books! - If you could meet anyone dead or alive, who would that be?
My Granddad who died before I was born. - If you could travel to any region in the world, where would it be?
In Canada: to the Maritimes, anywhere else: definitely the UK and Ireland!! - Windows, iOS, or Android?
Neither - If I could eat any food what would it be?
Oh dear…. If it was actually good for you, I’d say ice cream. - If you were stranded on a desert island, what would you want with you?
A boat - What would you do during a zombie attack?
Crap! I knew I should have read The Zombie Survival Guide!
Congratulations to you both and all the other Editors who were nominated in July!
