BT48.com, along with Student Francis Byrne & Grafton Recruitment won the Northern Ireland Steps to Creativity Project 2010 Award at the Steps to Creativity Programme, part of the Showcase Conference at University of Ulster, Magee Campus. Steps to Creativity helped 10 traditional companies around Northern Ireland to identify a digital creative project related to their business activity which would benefit from exposure to creative sector expertise. Each business received mentoring from a creative industries professional to help with the project. Full time support from a creative industry student, paid by the programme, was also provided to implement the digital project within an eight-week period from July to September 2010. The programme was funded through the Arts Council for Northern Ireland’s creative industries innovation fund and managed by the Northern Ireland Business and Innovation Centre (NORIBIC).
