Giving merchants a method with which to process customer payment online is eWAY’s bread and butter. But one of the things that puts eWAY squarely in the realm of coolness is that, as part of the signup process, merchants are given, or directed to, the tools need to set up an online presence. eWAY tries to make it easier for a nascent businesses to cuddle up with the Interwebs.

Since extending the reach of Anthill’s 30under30 awards to include 5over50, it feels like we’ve received nothing but criticism. Sure, enthusiastic ‘upstarts’ and ‘restarts’ have entered in droves.

Well now it seems that the marketers at Youi thought an insurance company winning a national business award for coolness was a pretty good point of difference. So much so that they have launched a national radio advertising campaign crowing about their cool triumph.
