Aurora, IL. April 1, 2009 - - Aurora online marketing firm B2b Interactive Marketing Inc. has won an award for "Best Small Business Website” at the 2009 Internet Advertising Competition (IAC). The prestigious honor is awarded by the Web Marketing Association to honor excellence in online advertising, recognize the individuals and organizations responsible and to showcase award winning Internet advertising.
The company took home the honor for their work producing www.ellis-towing.com, a website for local Aurora and Naperville towing service Ellis Towing Inc. The award was based on the judging criteria of "creativity, innovation, impact, design, copywriting and use of the medium."
“This is the first competition we have entered,” says Brian Basilico, B2b owner and Ellis Towing website developer. “I was thrilled that our work was recognized and won over some very stiff competition.”
B2b and Ellis Towing join a rather illustrious set of names as one of this year’s winners. Other advertising and marketing firm winners include Ogilvy San Francisco, Agency.com, AvatarLabs, CNN, Yahoo as well as additional companies promoting nationally known products and services such as Skittles, Verizon and NFL Network, Rice Krispies, Target, Coke and more.
According to Basilico, B2b redesigned the Ellis Towing website by asking the basic question “When do you need a towing company?” One answer, of course, is when you break down.
“His old site had all of his contact information in Adobe Flash (which cannot load on any mobile device including the IPhone),” says Basilico. “This site makes his phone number clickable and will dial from any mobile device. Simple, innovative and effective!”
And it seems, an award winning idea.
