Yes, It’s Shameless Self-Promotion
Who’s Who?
What do BBDO, New York; Disney, Paris; Greenpeace; the BBC; and Brainstorm all have in common? Each won a Best in Show Award from the 2008 W3 Awards, a global competition for website and online content designers, creators, and promoters, judged by the International Academy of Visual Arts.
“In a competition pitting over 3,000 competitors, including Fortune 500 companies and international marketing agencies, we’re pleased to finish in the top 1 percent,” said Brainstorm’s president, Bob Blass.
What’s What?
Brainstorm also won a Gold Award for Visual Appeal for the site, Camino a la Universidad (The Road to College). The site brings interactive life to a research report on Latino’s post-secondary access and success by University of Texas at San Antonio professor Dr. Raymond Padilla.
“Brainstorm created a beautiful, culturally relevant, sharable way to interact with decades of research data without diminishing its depth and substance,” said Teresa Detrich of the Lumina Foundation, sponsor of the research and website.
This is Brainstorm’s third W3 Award, including a Silver Award in 2007 for a website promoting Community Health Network’s North Hospital.

Well deserved. I remember looking at that website months ago and enjoying it so much. It is wonderful to see recognition given for an excellent piece of work.

@ade,@Tracy Lee:
Thank you. A borderline “article” thus the headline but what the heck, for us, it is “news.” :)
And, Tracy Lee: Nice celebratory graphical expression there!
