Departure3 Digital Wins Best in Class Website from Interactive Media Awards

Santa Monica Based Digital Firm Receives Highest Honor for its work on the Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach Hotel Website.

Los Angeles, CA, November 27, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Departure3 Digital (www.departure3.com), an award-winning brand experience agency in Santa Monica, Calif., today announced that it has been awarded Best in Class by the Interactive Media Awards™ for its work on the Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach and Marina Hotel website (www.cpredondobeachhotel.com). The honor recognizes that the project met and surpassed the basic standards of excellence that comprise the web’s most professional work. The site was honored specifically for excellence in Travel/Tourism.

The judging consisted of various criteria, including design, usability, innovation in technical features, standards compliance and content. In order to win this award level, the site had to meet strict guidelines in each area — an achievement only a fraction of sites in the IMA competition earn each quarter.

"The Interactive Media Awards are a highly sought-after prize, and this nod from IMA is a demonstration of our ability to generate world-class work and capitalize on our close working relationships with our client,” said John Duffield, Principal of Departure3 Digital. “We're thrilled to have developed such a strong relationship with our friends and partners at the Crowne Plaza. It was a privilege to help them bring their unique story to life with a new website which humanizes the brand.”

Departure3’s work enables the hotel to leave a lasting impression on their website visitors as much as it does its actual guests. By balancing a unique style with a functional platform, the online experience translates seamlessly to mobile and tablet ensuring that users are able to experience the hotel's beauty, obtain easy directions and make a booking from anywhere at anytime.
