Sunbrella Website Wins an ADDY

The new Sunbrella website, launched February 2009, won a Silver ADDY at last night’s AAF Triad ADDY Gala.  We won for the category of Interactive Media Website, consumer HTML. Given that we were competing with ad agencies from all over the Triad NC area, we’re quite proud of the accomplishment. 

The big winner at the ADDY Gala was RLF Communications for their International Civil Rights Center & Museum campaign.  Sunbrella friend and fabric photographer, Matt Hulsman of dcube studios, took home gold and silver awards in the category of Elements of Advertising, photography for his work for The Fresh Market.  You’ll find some of Matt’s Sunbrella photography under the product portion of his web portfolio.  You’ll also see examples of his award winning food photography, but be careful.  They’ll make you hungry.

Special thanks and congratulations go out to the Sunbrella web team of Michael Hogan, senior graphic designer, Josh Wyrick, web programmer and Gene Wicker, e-marketing manager who put in phenomenal creative energy into developing the new Sunbrella website. I acted as creative director for the project.  Obviously, we’re not done.  It’s an ongoing effort to make the site better and more informative.

  1. Hi Gina,

    It is a great website! Wonderful colors and ease of use. Just imagine my surprise at learning that you were a Triad company. About six months ago we sold our house in Winston and left for San Miguel de Allende, Mexico to live. Since we have so much sun here, I was researching colors for our roof top garden area and noticed that you all had won an Addy. Congratulations. Look forward to having your product on our roof very, very soon.
