Leftfield achieve ‘Official Honoree’ recognition at the Webby Awards

Monday, April 20th, 2009

With so many great agencies producing so much good work, delivering work that genuninely stands out from the crowd is a challenge. So Leftfield are delighted to have been recognised for our work at the highest level for www.forbiddencity.ae - the 13th Annual Webby Awards.

The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet. Established in 1996 during the Web’s infancy, the Webbys are presented by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 550-member body of leading Web experts, business figures, luminaries, visionaries and creative celebrities.

Our task was to deliver a highly finished and complex user experience to promote the launch of the Forbidden City residential real estate development in Dubai. As part of a broad integrated marketing campaign in conjunction with sister agency Truly London, the website is a key component in a wider strategy that encompasses TV, press, poster, DM, online display and CRM; the latter being driven from the website itself.

To see more detail about the project, it’s aims and achievements please read the case study. Alternatively, see it action. For more detail about Leftfield, please contact Richard Jackson, Managing Director on 0207 420 5890.
