June 26, 2008 - After announcing a Gold win for the University of La Verne (ULV) Virtual Tour, Earthbound Media Group (EMG) is proud to announce its additional wins in the international Communicator Awards. EMG’s Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) Perspectives Virtual Tour, and receiving its first award, The Art Institute of California – Orange County (AIOC) microsite were each individually honored with an Award of Distinction for exceeding industry standards in quality and achievement.
Receiving its third win, the video-based LLUMC Perspectives virtual tour experience received a Silver statuette in the “Health Care Services” category. Strategically incorporated into a comprehensive cross-media campaign, EMG developed a user-friendly, interactive online experience where prospective patients can explore the medical center’s groundbreaking facilities and featured services via streaming video-diaries and high-quality photo albums.
Also receiving a Silver statuette Award of Distinction, the AIOC microsite was recognized within the expansive “Microsite” category. EMG worked alongside client The Art Institute of California – Orange County to develop a strategic, lead generation-focused microsite. Incorporating intuitive navigation, rich media and search engine optimized content, the complete makeover of AIOC’s web presence gives prospective students a straight-forward overview of the school’s degree programs.
“The recognition given by these industry experts continues to build EMG’s credibility and reputation as a strong technology-driven marketing team,” explained Dr. Blaine Behringer, EMG Principal and Chief Operations Officer. “The Communicator Awards simply validate the tremendous hard work we do for our clients, and we’re excited to celebrate these mutual achievements with them.”
Administered by the International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA), the Communicator Awards is one of the largest international awards programs around.
