This award is the latest among many awards won for GeoEye.com
DENVER – BrainSpark Media, a Denver-based interactive agency, has been recognized as an Official Honoree of The 13th Annual Webby Awards for the GeoEye Web site in the Science category. BrainSpark Media has won three additional Web site awards for the GeoEye site, www.geoeye.com, including a Technology Standard of Excellence WebAward from the Web Marketing Association, a Silver W3 Award from the International Academy of the Visual Arts and a Silver Davey Award also from the International Academy of the Visual Arts.
“To be recognized by the Webby Awards is a tremendous honor for our agency; one we’re proud to share with our client, GeoEye,” says George Gastis, president, BrainSpark Media. “The project was a significant collaborative effort that included 15 + immediate project team members and spanned nearly a year in duration from start to finish. We’re all very pleased with the end-product and it is fitting that we’ve achieved this recognition given the level of effort and time invested to execute the project as planned.”
The GeoEye Web site project consisted of three primary phases: 1) strategy and visual design, 2) information architecture, copywriting and content development, and 3) site construction, application development and usability testing. The project team first conducted extensive research that included surveying dozens of internal and external GeoEye stakeholders, reviewing industry and market research and analyzing historical site traffic. The results and findings provided the strategic foundation for all project phases that followed, with the ultimate goal of designing the new site to better serve the needs of GeoEye’s target audiences: customers, employees, investors, media and the general public.
