Work & Co Client Projects Nominated for 8 Webby Awards

Work & Co client projects received eight Webby Award nominations and one Honoree at this year’s 19th Annual Webby Awards. Work & Co was awarded a Webby for its design and development of the new VirginAmerica.com, in collaboration with Virgin America.

Launches within the past year for The Week, Smithsonian Channel, and the NBA were also recognized. In addition, Work & Co partnered with TripAdvisor, nominated for Best Travel Website, on their recent re-design. The nine total honors span categories from Best News Website to Best User Experience.

Felipe Memoria, Partner, Design, said of the recognition: “We’re flattered that VirginAmerica.com, for example, was in five categories — I think it shows a well-balanced product.”

See below for a breakdown:

THE WEEK

Nominated for Best News Website, the reinvented TheWeek.com took advantage of strength of content, and guaranteed users quick, inspiring access and clean reads.

SMITHSONIAN CHANNEL

A video player responsive to device and behavior. Enriching content beyond the show. The new SmithsonianChannel.com was nominated for Best Television Website.

VIRGIN AMERICA

Just as Virgin America made flying fun again, the new website was designed to make booking travel online fun. It won a Webby for the Best Visual Design for Mobile, and was nominated across four other categories: Best User Experience (Websites), Best User Interface (Websites), Best Practices (Websites), and Best User Interface (Mobile).

NBA

The new platform for the NBA, allowing super-fans to follow the Development League through more than 350 live games each season, was an Official Honoree for Best Home Page.
