Awards

2011 DADI Awards

Grand-Prix Award

We were honoured and humbled to have been awarded the 2011 Grand Prix award at this year’s DADI ceremony! Awarded for Twitition, our internal Twitter-based web application, this really was highlight of the site’s success.

We’re thrilled that something so successful can be the result of an internal experiment which we enjoyed working on so much.

Use of Social Media

We scooped the top prize in this category for Twitition, our web app which is gaining popularity by the day. With almost 1.2 million followers, Twitition is the platform for many fun and light-hearted petitions, and also a few life-changing causes too.

In-house Website or Campaign

Another win for Twitition, we received the DADI award for best In-house Website, beating some tough competition. In what turned out to be an incredible night for our popular application, the team were delighted at its success and so proud of the overwhelming recognition Twitition received.

Nomination for Use of Technical Innovation

We were nominated in this category for the international delivery directory we created for Interflora – the world’s most popular flower delivery network.

Interflora wanted to replace their large and bulky paper delivery directory with an online system. We created a multi-lingual system which could be accessed by thousands of florists worldwide, and boosted Interflora’s productivity. Although we missed out on this award, we were honoured to be nominated.

Digital Impact Awards 2011

Silver award for Best Development of own Social Media

Just scanning over the shortlist for the prestigious Digital Impact Awards 2011 filled us with astonishment that our Leeds-based agency was up against brands such as Coca-Cola, Centrica and Vodafone.

So when we attended the ceremony with our internal site, Twitition, we didn’t expect to be walking away with a silver award. This achievement is testament to the popularity and reach of Twitition, and the team’s hard work.

Silver award for Best Intranet

After receiving a silver award for Twitition, we were even more excited to be awarded another for Best Intranet! The multi-lingual intranet we developed for Interflora won us this prestigious award, and it demonstrates our technical ability to combine such a complex back-end system with a smooth interface.

The intranet has transformed the way Interflora does business worldwide, and has saved them a substantial six-figure annual sum.

Interactive Media Award 2011

‘Best In Class’ for Web Design/Development

Beating some stiff competition and strengthening Branded3’s status in the digital industry; our design team were awarded a ‘Best In Class’ IMA for the Branded3 website.

SoMeComms Award 2010

Innovation

Celebrating the best in social media communications; the SoMeComms Awards are respected and esteemed in the social media world. That’s why we were incredibly proud when we secured an award for Innovation last year; recognising the unique ability of Branded3 to create digital wonders from innovative ideas.

We received the award for Twitition; our in-house experiment that proved to be an overwhelming success. Sparked from an idea to take petitions to the web, we created Twitition without any marketing or PR, allowing the natural buzz to simply let it grow.

With mentions in some of the world’s largest publications and news sites, including Sky News and The Los Angeles Times; it’s popularity has placed it in the top 600 Twitter accounts in the world. Now that’s pretty impressive.

Interactive Media Award 2010

‘Best In Class’ for Legal

In partnership with First4lawyers.com, Branded3 created a cutting-edge site which boasted an engaging and functional user-friendly interface, which personally matches a customer with a highly qualified injury lawyer, giving an unrivalled direct access.

Only four months after going live with this incredible web presence last year; First4lawyers.com stormed the competition to walk away with this impressive internet award, reflecting the level of quality we provide.

GoldenTwits Award 2010

Best Application

2010 was a big year for Branded3 and Twitition, as we received a second award for this spark of social media genius. Celebrating the best in all things Twitter; the GoldenTwits Awards highlight the most innovative use of the social media giant from an astounding 12,000 entries.

A desirable award in the social media environment; GoldenTwits Awards have previously been handed to major companies such as The Guardian and Channel Four; so to attain this coveted achievement certainly meant a lot to us, and reflects our expertise in this industry.
