Phase2 + Inviqa Nominated for Webby Award for Arsenal Football Club Website
NEW YORK (PRWEB) April 10, 2018 -- Phase2 and Inviqa announced today that they have been nominated for Best Sports Team Website for the Arsenal Football Club Digital Experience in the 22nd Annual Webby Awards.
Hailed as the “Internet’s highest honor” by The New York Times, The Webby Awards, presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), is the leading international awards organization honoring excellence on the Internet.
David Savage, core platform product manager, Arsenal Media Group & Arsenal Football Club, said: “The Webby Award nomination is a real honour and a testament to the work that’s gone into delivering a rich, engaging website that’s helping us to transform fan engagement at Arsenal. In time we’ll be delivering Arsenal content across devices and platforms that don’t even exist yet, but the power and flexibility of our content hub means that we’re suitably equipped to get content to fans how, where, and when they want it.”
Claire Graves, executive director of The Webby Awards, said: “Nominees like Phase2 and Inviqa are setting the standard for innovation and creativity on the Internet. It is an incredible achievement to be selected among the best from the over 13,000 entries we received this year.”
Featuring single sign-on for social media and membership, a mobile-first design, and live match-day results, Arsenal’s new content hub is helping the Premier League club to transform fan engagement. It was developed on Drupal 8, a leading content management system that’s helping brands like Arsenal, Gap, and Sevilla F.C. to navigate content delivery to a growing number of devices and platforms.
Arsenal and other nominees for Best Sports Team Website will be voted for by fans and members of the public, with votes cast via vote.webbyawards.com. Winners will be announced on Tuesday, April 24, 2018, and honored at a star-studded ceremony on Monday, May 14, 2018, at Cipriani on Wall Street in New York City. There they will have an opportunity to deliver one of The Webby Awards’ famous 5-Word Speeches. Past 5-Word Speeches include: Steve Wilhite’s “It’s Pronounced “Jif” not ‘Gif’; Stephen Colbert’s “Me.
