Grace Ridge Website Receives International Recognition
The international AVA Digital Awards recently announced the winners of its 2015 competition. Grace Ridge Retirement Community is honored to announce its new website, developed by Walker Marketing Agency, earned the competition’s prestigious gold award.
The AVA Digital Awards, which recognize outstanding achievement in digital media and communications, received more than 2,100 entries from around the world. Fewer than 30 percent received awards, and only 15 percent were honored with gold awards.
As part of a comprehensive marketing and communications strategy, the new Grace Ridge website launched in November 2014. The site incorporates the senior living community’s unique brand, “Good Moods,” and combines a sleek, yet inviting design complete with keyword-rich content.
“We give our best to each client when it comes to creative work, so it’s always an honor to see the results these ideas produce,” stated Gary Walker, President of Walker Marketing. But this award is especially exciting as Grace Ridge’s website entirely supports the brand strategy and marketing initiatives taking place. The Grace Ridge team is so dedicated to its residents and we’re honored to help them communicate their many strengths through creative work like this.”
