CONCUSSION BRINGS HOME THE GOLD

Concussion High Impact Communications has received acclaim from the International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA) and the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) for the agency’s creative excellence in web design.

“I am honored that Concussion has been recognized by these prestigious organizations,” said Douglas Cox, interactive director at Concussion. “I am extremely proud to see our work consistently being considered among the best not only in Fort Worth, but also in the world.”

IAVA awarded Concussion three W3 Gold Awards, two in the “Real Estate” category for their work on Twin Creeks Golf Community and Hillwood Residential, and one in the “Strange and Unusual” category, for ItsTimeToConfess.com, the 2008 Fort Worth ADDYÒ Awards’ microsite. Concussion also took home a W3 Silver Award for KonamiPodium.com, a flash-driven microsite promoting Konami Gaming’s latest innovation.

The W3 is sanctioned and judged by the International Academy of the Visual Arts, an invitation-only body consisting of top-tier professionals from a “Who’s Who” of acclaimed media, interactive, advertising and marketing firms. IAVA members include executives from organizations such as Conde Nast, Coach, Disney, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Estee Lauder, Fry Hammond Barr, HBO, Monster.com, MTV, Polo Ralph Lauren, Sotheby’s Institute of Art, Victoria’s Secret, Wired, Yahoo! and many others.

The website was unveiled in June and features new functionalities to help visitors quickly find the information they need without devoting too much time to searching.

Each year, APTA honors members’ marketing and communications efforts with the AdWheel Awards. Awards are presented in four main media categories: print, electronic, campaigns, and special events. For more information on APTA and the AdWheel awards, visit www.apta.com.
