OMMA Award Nominees Announced
September 6, 2010
BROOKLYN — Four HUGE projects are among the finalists in the 2010 OMMA Awards: History.com, AlvinAiley.org, Reuters.com and The Pepsi Refresh Project. The OMMA Awards were founded in 2006 to recognize those who push the boundaries of creative work, and each year honor the very best in online media, marketing and advertising.
History.com is among the three finalists in the Entertainment TV category for Web Site Excellence. The redesign has transformed the network’s digital presence from a promotional tool into the premier authority for all things history.
Competing in the Charity/Non-Profit Organization category for Web Site Excellence, AlvinAiley.org delivers a user-driven experience that has become a model for the performing arts industry.
Reuters.com is nominated in the News/Politics category for Web Site Excellence. “In what is perhaps the most highly customizable news site on the market today,” writes OMMA, “the new Reuters.com preserves the venerable brand's heritage as a no-nonsense, news wire, with rich, contextually relevant content and applications aimed at time-starved business professionals.”
The Pepsi Refresh Project vies for Best Integrated Online Campaign in the Non-Alcoholic Beverage category. As a result of HUGE’s new digital platform for Pepsi, they leapt to position #5 in Forbes’ Most Reputable Companies study, well ahead of competitor Coca-Cola.
Winners will be announced September 27th at the OMMA Awards event held in New York City. All finalists are also nominated for the Members' Choice Awards, which will be voted on by the community over the next several weeks.
