Blenderbox has been recognised with 4 awards in the 2011 Summit Emerging Media Awards. The Visionary Award, or Best in Show, was awarded for our work on 911memorial.org in the Non-Profit Website category. Our own site received 2 Innovator Awards for Self promotion and Best Visual Design/Aesthetic, and our site for the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial earned the Leader Award.
The Summit EMA competition is based on the premise that advertising is consistently at the forefront of the technological evolution of communication. It was created to identify the world's marketing communication pioneers. Those pushing the bounds of the communication badlands.
“Those involved in today’s emerging media technologies are the leaders who are establishing tomorrow’s avenues of advertising communications.” Said Jocelyn Luciano, Executive Director for the Summit International Awards (SIA). “Most communication professionals recognize that established avenues of communication can be reliable and safe however audiences are becoming increasingly fragmented and difficult to engage, inform and affect. Developing, applying and combining emerging media with creative messaging and market awareness is challenging. Achieving this synthesis is what makes earning a Summit EMA a significant achievement.”
