The agency earned a Gold Award for The Wilder student apartments website and a Silver Award for the Stratford Partners corporate website.
Presented by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA), the w3 Awards honor outstanding digital work across websites, marketing, social media, video, mobile, and emerging technologies. This year’s competition received thousands of entries from across the globe, with winners recognized for their creativity, innovation, and execution in the ever-evolving digital space.
