The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best advertising Websites in the world as part of their 27th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at the WebAward Web site. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including advertising, design and marketing web sites, based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. The deadline for advertising web sites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2023.
“In the advertising industry, a website can be a powerful tool for promoting your brand, showcasing your work, and connecting with clients,” said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “The advertising industry is very competitive when it comes to Web development and companies can benefit from the independent evaluation of their online efforts. Advertising websites need to balance their wish to show off creativity and capability via their webs design with the equally important need to inform prospects and clients.” Increasingly awards have been added to new business pitches to demonstrate third party validation of skills and to increase creative credibility to prospective clients. The WebAward Competition provides a platform for advertising agency websites to showcase their creativity, innovation and effectiveness in delivering exceptional value and results to their clients.”
All advertising entrants benefit from receiving valuable feedback in terms of their specific scores compared against the average scores for their industry. They also may receive specific comments from the WebAward’s professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.
Winners of a WebAward in the advertising and marketing categories will also receive:
- Handsome statue or certificate of achievement
- A limited-edition Commemorative NFT
- Increased visibility for their company
- Marketing opportunity to promote the company website to the media
- Links to your site from the highly ranked WebAward site to help SEO
- A highlight for your resume.
- Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers
- Unlimited bragging rights
