US Digital Partners Scores Two ADDY awards at This Year’s Competition

February, 2009 -- It seems that national advertising experts have come to realize what the Cincinnati business community has known for quite a while: US Digital Partners is a digital agency to be reckoned with.

At this year’s competition, the team at US Digital walked away with silver ADDY awards for two of their projects completed in 2008. Their work on College of Mount Saint Joseph’s website, www.MSJ.edu, won a silver ADDY award in the "Website, Consumer HTML" category. Additionally, they won a silver ADDY for their Kroger Sharing Courage website, also in the Website, Consumer HTML category.

Mark Miller, co-founding partner of US Digital Partners, shares the accolades with his clients. "First and foremost I want to thank Kroger and College of Mount St. Joseph for giving us the opportunity to work together. They have been tremendous clients who are open to building award winning interactive websites. Their willingness to let our creative team do their magic has enabled us to produce these results."

While the awards are certainly exciting, Miller understands that they are not the only measure of success for projects like these. "Ultimately, the success of a website is not measured by the awards it wins, but by the results it achieves. The Kroger site has been a wonderful vehicle for bringing together cancer survivors and companies that truly care. It’s more than just putting a pink ribbon on the packaging. For MSJ, small private colleges must work even harder to attract and retain students in a down economy. The new website has put the school in the best possible light. It also has allowed them to reduce print expenditures and use tools like student blogs, videos, and targeted content to attract more visitors and new applicants to the school."

The ADDY awards are sponsored by the Advertising Club of Cincinnati and are similar to local Emmys. Hundreds of submissions are received in many traditional advertising and interactive media categories.

Miller is thrilled with the company’s accomplishments. "We are very excited to have both MSJ and Kroger Sharing Courage recognized as 2009 ADDY award winners. We feel that our digital design and development capabilities are among the best, and now national judges are singling out our work."
