The US Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts has awarded Sydney independent digital agency Wonderful multiple awards, including four golds, at this year’s international Communicator Awards.
Wonderful took out three golds for best general non-profit website, best user experience, and best features, structure and navigation, for its work with Aruma, one of Australia’s not-for-profit disability service providers supporting more than 4,000 people across New South Wales, ACT, Queensland and Victoria.
Wonderful also secured gold in the best user interface category for Millbray, alongside two silver awards for best general property website and best visual appeal – aesthetic.
Millbray was launched to respond to the growing demand from Australia’s over-50s for high-quality residential living. Wonderful helped lead the digital foundations for Millbray and its first community, Ashcroft in Queensland, overseeing mobile-first experience design, a unified responsive design system, engineering, scalable content architecture and performance analytics.
Matt Barbelli, founder and managing director at Wonderful, said the recognition highlights the agency’s ability to deliver world-class digital experiences.
“This level of recognition on an international stage is incredibly meaningful for our team and partners,” Barbelli said.
“To see our work for Aruma and Millbray awarded alongside some of the world’s best is a testament to the ambition of our clients and the calibre of thinking and craft we bring to every project.”
Now in its 32nd year, the prestigious Communicator Awards received more than 3,000 entries from advertising agencies, global brands, digital agencies, production studios and in-house creative teams.
The awards are judged by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts, an invitation-only body of over 1,100 industry leaders, with this year’s jury including experts from JPMorgan Chase & Co., FedEx, Netflix, National Geographic Society and Accenture Song.
