Rockville, MD (PRWEB) May 28, 2009
The Burbank Group, LLC. (www. burbankgroup. net), a corporate branding specialist, was awarded two Bronze 2009 Summit Creative Awards® for rebranding the Georgetown University DC Alumni Club and creating their new interactive site. The winning categories include: "Website: Academic Institution;" and "Best Web Rebrand/Redesign."
"Both of the awards received on behalf of work done for Georgetown University's Flagship Alumni means that the strategic planning and analysis that went into this site has achieved a superior result. My primary objective in creating this new DCHOYAS. ORG, was to launch more than just a resource--rather, I wanted an online 'quad' that could mitigate the universal challenge of offering alums of all ages a relevant, timely, demographically appropriate, and engaging virtual home. Meeting this goal means that close to forty thousand members will have a more enticing way to learn about and hopefully get involved in the fabulous programming of the Club," said Karen M. Greenwald, President of The Burbank Group.
According to Stephanie Ortbals-Tibbs, President of the DC Alumni Club, "The Burbank Group provided us with exceptional strategy and service throughout the life of the project. The rebranding (http://www. burbankgroup. net/projects) has given us an image that is contemporary yet timeless and appeals across all of our demographic groups. The accompanying web site is both a science and an art: it is beautiful, but it also is well engineered for easy maintenance and predictable service. We are thrilled to hear their work on our behalf won such a high and well-deserved honor."
"This website is a demonstration of both Karen's professional talent and personal dedication to Georgetown. She worked tirelessly to ensure the website met the needs of the alumni club, and was generous in time and talent. Karen's creativity and dedication to this project resulted in a wonderful site to serve the Georgetown alumni community in metro DC," said Meg Chambers, Assistant Director, Market Development & Alumni Engagement Office of Advancement, Georgetown University.
Previously, The Burbank Group has been honored with awards in the following categories: Industry Specialist/Self-Promotion; Direct Marketing/B2B; Medical or Health Related Website; and Industry Self-Promotion in Advertising.
