Overland Agency Collects W3 Award, Three WebAwards For Rich-Media Projects


(PRLEAP.COM) West Coast branding and digital advertising firm the Overland Agency has won international honors from the W3 Awards (w3award.com) and the WebAwards (webaward.org) for its diverse client work. Between the competitions, Overland competed with more than 5,000 other entries from 40 countries.

Overland’s interactive video demo for Earthlink-owned New Edge Networks was awarded a Silver for Technology/Science in the W3 Awards. A leading provider of private IP network solutions, New Edge Networks needed a vibrant video (newedgenetworks.com/_apps/ipstory.html) that simply distilled their exceptional service offering. The W3 Awards honor creative excellence in websites, web video, and online marketing programs, and is the first major web competition accessible to both global agencies and the smallest firms.

Overland-developed websites were awarded Standard of Excellence WebAwards for:
• B2B, Dolphin Safe Source (DolphinSafeSource.com)
• Legal, Ater Wynne LLP (AterWynne.com)
• Manufacturing, Merix (Merix.com)

Founded by the Web Marketing Association in 1997, the WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets industry benchmarks for the best websites based on the seven criteria of a successful website.

“It’s very satisfying to see our team recognized among so many world-class brands,” said Arve Overland, CEO and Executive Creative Director. “Our first commitment is to doing outstanding, ROI-generating work for our clients. But sharing in major awards with them is always a thrill, too.”
