Roger West Wins Multiple W3 Awards for Creative Work in 2021
November 04, 2021
Roger West Creative & Code, a full-service digital marketing agency, was recently honored at the 16th Annual w3 Awards, winning two Gold and two Silver Awards for creative marketing projects in 2021. Selected by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA), the w3 Awards honors creative digital excellence in website design, marketing campaigns, social media content and online video. With more than 3000 entries submitted from around the world, less than 10% were selected as Gold Winners.
The first Gold Award went to Roger West’s “Earth, Wine & Fire Dinner” summer promotional campaign for Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse. Incorporating website design and development, a variety of social media posts, and banner ads, the campaign showcased the restaurant’s unique, limited-time dinner event for locations throughout the US. Rich imagery and dynamic functionality highlighted the complementary flavors of plant-forward and fire-inspired menus. Page visitors could view all 4-courses plus the wine pairings and make a reservation from the landing page.
“We’re thrilled to see Fleming’s get the recognition they deserve from this successful campaign. The event was an innovative concept, and we were excited to have the opportunity to help them make it a success. Roger West’s existing relationship with Fleming’s allowed us to work closely with their marketing team to realize their vision for the ‘Earth, Wine & Fire’ experience. This award is a testament to the power of that collaboration,” said CEO Michael Westafer, who founded Roger West in 2007.
Roger West also won a Gold Award and a Silver Award in separate Branded Entertainment categories for the agency’s “Roger That” video. Created in collaboration with Digital Brew, the high-energy video makes light of today’s business challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, while positioning Roger West as something different than the typical agency.
“The last thing we want is to be seen as just another agency doing just enough to get by,” Westafer said. “With the ‘Roger That’ video, we were able to show a bit of our unique personality while still making it clear that listening to our clients and delivering the results they’re after is our number one priority.”
Finally, the agency picked up a w3 Silver Award for the recently redesigned Roger West website. Launched earlier this year, the site highlights a wide range of award-winning work that has delivered big results for clients from multiple industries.
“I’m incredibly proud of our team and grateful to have the opportunity to work with such tremendous clients,” Westafer said. “It’s a great honor to have that work recognized by w3 and we’re looking forward to building on that success in the coming year.”
