Chicago’s Best Kept (Design) Secret: Press Release
Mightybytes Creative Media Firm Announces Winning Year
CHICAGO, April 14, 2009
What separates a good website from a great website? Ask Mightybytes.
Today Chicago-based creative media firm Mightybytes announced it has earned eight national and international 2008 design awards - more than double the number from previous years. “We always strive for fun in our work while maintaining a high level of quality,” said Mightybytes founder Tim Frick. “We’re proud our commitment to that approach has resulted in work both our clients and the design industry appreciate.”
The awards include:
- Three Communicator Awards from The International Academy of Visual Arts
Out of 8,500 entries, Mightybytes received three Awards of Distinction for its work on their own site (http://www.mightybytes.com) as well as for BLKipper Photography (http://www.blkipper.com) and The Neo-Futurists (http://www.neofuturists.org). The Communicator Awards are the leading international creative awards program honoring creative excellence for communication professionals.
- Three PCom Creative Shake Awards
Mightybytes received three PCom Creative Shake Awards in the Web Design category for its own site as well as BLKipper Photography and The Neo-Futurists. The PCom Creative Awards is an international competition recognizing outstanding work in the communications field.
- Two 2008 American Graphic Design Awards
Out of 10,000 entries, Mightybytes received recognition for its work on BLKipper Photography as well as the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) Theater (http://www.dcatheater.org). For over four decades, The American Graphic Design Awards from Graphic Design USA magazine has been recognizing outstanding work across all media: print and collateral, advertising and sales promotion, corporate identity and logos, internet and interactive design, packaging and POP, broadcast and motion graphics. This is the second year in a row Mightybytes has been recognized with this award, earning four in 2007.
The awards - and the work that garnered them - have not gone unnoticed. In an economy that has seen many companies floundering and failing, Mightybytes has experienced unparalleled growth. With over a dozen new clients in the past year and several additional staff members, Mightybytes will move to larger offices in its Chicago Andersonville neighborhood.
“Whether building a new website or updating an existing one, design plays a vital role in any communication endeavor,” said Frick. “We are truly passionate about the work we do and are proud that seems to resonate with others.”
