CONSTRUCTION WRITERS ASSOCIATION PRESENTS 2009 WEBSITE AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AWARDS IN CHICAGO
October, 2009
Chicago-The Construction Writers Association (CWA) recently presented its twelfth annual Website and Electronic Communications Awards at the organization’s fall conference in Chicago. Awards were presented in three categories—website, electronic communications and blogs.
Websites were evaluated by a panel of judges on quality of content, overall design, use of innovative and accessible technology, navigation, search functionality, interactivity, and meeting stated objectives. Electronic communications were judged on the design, graphics, accessibility, meeting stated objectives, and overall impression. Entries were received from construction-related individuals, companies, associations, advertising agencies, public relations firms and publications. “Digital marketing is transforming the way organizations communicate their message, and the CWA jury saw firsthand how innovation in electronic communication helps companies to stand out from the competition,” said Michael Reilly, chair of the 2009 awards jury and president of Boston-based Reilly Communications.
Award winners were:
- Website: GyroHSR; John Deere "Skidsteer Smackdown Season Two"
- Electronic Communications: Portland Cement Association; Concrete Thinking: Portland Cement Association’s Success Using Twitter
- Blog: Building Design+Construction’s BuildingTeam360 Blog.
The CWA Website and Electronic Communications Awards include marketing-oriented websites and other digital media, such as e-newsletters, blogs, podcasts, and streaming video. The competition showcases the best of the best in construction-related communications and is a prestigious acknowledgment that the work of these writers, through their various communication efforts, has met a very high standard of excellence. CWA presents awards at its two major conferences each year.
