TEMPE, Ariz., April 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Limelight
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW), a leader in digital presence
management, today announced it received Official Honoree accolades
for its website (www.limelight.com) awarded by the Academy of
Digital Arts & Sciences for the 17th Annual Webby
Awards. Recognized as one of the most advanced websites in the
professional services category, Limelight's own multi-channel
digital presence is reflective of its vision for helping
organizations present an effective and consistent story across all
digital touch points.
The company used its own Limelight Orchestrate Digital Presence
Platform to create an entirely revamped digital presence, including
personalized content, extensive video and an engaging storytelling
methodology. The site incorporates responsive design,
allowing it to display accurately and effectively on any web,
mobile, social and large screen channel. The company's massively
provisioned network delivers the site's content, including video,
ensuring blazing speed and user experience anywhere in the
world.
"Limelight's website engages the visitor with a compelling and
streamlined experience across platforms," said David-Michel Davies, executive director of The
Webby Awards. "We selected Limelight as an Official Honoree because
we found the website to be expertly designed to not only inform,
but engage and initiate interaction."
The Webbys are the leading international awards program honoring
excellence on the Internet. The Official Honoree distinction is
given to the top 10 percent of all work entered that exhibits
remarkable achievement. Out of 11,000 entries from over 60
countries and all 50 U.S. states submitted to the Webby Awards, the
Official Honoree status is awarded only to work that exhibits that
of an industry leader.
"We make it our mission to help customers better engage their
digital audiences. For this project, we utilized the same tools,
processes and expertise we provide our customers commercially, to
instead create an awesome Digital Presence for ourselves," said
Kirby Wadsworth, chief marketing
officer at Limelight. "Of course, I am thrilled with the Academy's
recognition. Moreover, knowing the entire effort took just 90 days
from start to finish makes this honor even more exciting. Having
managed many complex, time-consuming website projects in my career,
I was simply astounded at the speed and ease provided by these
powerful cloud-based tools. I want to thank the entire team in
marketing, professional services, and operations for a job well
done."
The 17th Annual Webby Awards will be held on May 21, 2013 at Cipriani Wall Street in
New York City.
