Rinck Advertising Website Honored with W3 Award

The International Academy of Visual Arts (IAVA) recently presented Rinck Advertising with a 2009 W3 Award for design and execution of the Rinck Advertising Website. Rinck was honored with a W3 Silver Award in the category of Self-Promotion.

The W3 Awards honors outstanding Websites, Web Marketing, and Web Video created by the best interactive agencies, designers, and creators across the globe. The 2009 W3 Awards received more than 3,000 entries from top companies and agencies worldwide.

"Being selected for a W3 award is a tremendous honor," said Peter Rinck, co-founder and President of Rinck Advertising. " Our new Website, launched in 2009, offers users an opportunity to gain an understanding of our business philosophy and approach to building client relationships."

Rinck Advertising's creative team developed the Website to engage visitors with the company's grasp of trending technology. For example, users can log onto favorite social networking sites without ever leaving the Rinck site. Special features include blogs by Rinck staff and links to blogs about marketing, finance, and current trends in the industry.

"It's clear that social media has created an entirely new media," Rinck continued. "Our Website takes advantage of available technology and gives us the means to use it as a testing ground. So far, the site's metrics confirm the power of social media."

"On behalf of the entire Academy, we congratulate this year's W3 Award winners as they continue to advance Internet creativity and greatly contribute to the robust and ever-changing online community," said Linda Day, the Executive Director of the IAVA. "W3 winners continue to set the bar in Web development and design, push the limits of web advertising creativity and advance the use of web video. We are thrilled to have reviewed such a diverse and respected pool of work."
