One of the judges commented that the site balances the appearance of a conservative and responsible corporate entity with the warmth of a friendly local / regional consultancy. Clear and well-segmented with strong and simple visual assets.
"We couldn't be more pleased," said Annette Lance, Assistant Manager-Investor Relations for Mairs & Power. "SunStar helped us hold on to our nearly 100-year history as a conservative investment firm while bringing us into 2020. Our new site reflects our dedication to our process and to investing in Minnesota and the upper Midwest and give clients and potential investors an excellent glimpse into who we are as people."
In addition, the site is updated regularly with articles and commentaries by the firm's portfolio managers that are of interest to financial advisors and investors.
The site was designed, written and programmed by SunStar's creative services group, led by Marilyn Dale, vice president and director of creative and digital services for the firm. Lance was the client project manager, Andy Richter provided custom still and video photography and programming was handled by SunStar's technical strategic partner, Jikometrix.net.

Design and functionality for websites are continually evolving as technology continues to change to meet the needs of the online viewer.
"We are proud of this achievement," said Dale. It is the second time the firm has received an award from the Web Marketing Association. In 2018, the SunStar Strategic site was recognized with a Standard of Excellence Achievement in the public relations category. "Our focus is on getting the message right. We do in-depth work with our clients on content – beginning this project by interviewing clients, financial advisors and staff. That's the true real hallmark of our success. We appreciate this incredible recognition of our capabilities."
