They have a massive number of campaigns, for a massive number of merchants, agencies, and networks, giving them a good chance of getting quite a few nominations. They do produce some nice sites, and as Kieron aludes to, they probably have a number of content sites as well. If enough people nominate them, it's hard to ignore them for a place on the shortlist.

Maybe for 2009 we could have an innovation / startup award ?
