Can a website be as creative and dynamic as the artists it represents?

That was the question from -- and the quest of -- the Alpert Awards in the Arts, as the annual prize sought to completely redesign and re-launch its web presence in tandem with the announcement of its 2011 winners.  

The Alpert Awards are among the largest annual unrestricted art grants in the United States, providing five $75,000 prizes, to artists who push the boundaries in the disciplines of dance, film/video, music, theatre and visual arts.

Leo Burnett wins Best of Show; Digitaria wins National Silver ADDY for National Geographic 'Expedition Mongolia' website

Full service marketing and technology agency Digitaria received a Silver National Addy in the Interactive Media category for its National Geographic "Expedition Mongolia"website

In addition to designing and building the website, Digitaria created a "crowd sourcing expedition platform" application that became a virtual "pilot" for the National Geographic team's expedition to find the lost tomb of Ghengis Khan, through a crowd-sourced mechanism: an interactive Map application that allows users to tag clues and artifacts on satellite images on the area. The real-time interactions helped guide the expedition, showcase the power of crowd interaction, and provide an experience aimed at bringing consumers closer to the National Geographic mission, as it introduced them to the work sponsored by the Society through hands-on support of field research.

Former San Francisco Social Media Strategist is Latest Coup for JWT Digital Unit; Will Debut at Interactive Day San Diego

Continuing to expand capabilities and resources following last year’s WPP acquisition, digital marketing and technology company Digitaria has expanded its communications capabilities and hired Stephanie Shkolnik as social media strategist, a new position.

An ardent social media evangelist who nevertheless maintains an even-keel eye on the bottom line and ROI, Stephanie joins Digitaria from Double Forte in San Francisco, where she led the public relations and marketing communications company’s social efforts.

“Stephanie has proven herself adept at bridging the gap between traditional and social conversations, and in her last position showed a real knack for the creation of clients’ social personas,” said Daniel Khabie, Digitaria’s founder and chief executive officer. “She ‘gets’ social media, and will be an immediate boon for both our current clients and several potential clients.”

Digitaria CTO Honored for Building Agency’s Tech Prowess, Spurring Exceptional Growth

Digitaria Chief Technology Officer Chuck Phillips was named San Diego’s IT Executive of the Year last night, in the Publicly Held Business category, by the San Diego Business Journal at its fourth annual award ceremony.

Phillips, 35, won the honor from a pool of fifty nominees for being “at the forefront of reinventing the digital agency model by melding creative ideas with technology that can bring those ideas to life,” said the SDBJ’s Editor in Chief Reo Carr at the awards event, held at the Doubletree Mission Valley Hotel.  “As one of the co-founders of the technology company Console, which merged with Digitaria in 2005, Chuck has led his department’s growth from eight to thirty-seven employees through innovative thinking and leadership.”

Phillips, 35, is perhaps best known for his pioneering use of Cloud Computing to support marketing initiatives, long before it became commonly known -- much less used -- in the industry.  In 2008 he introduced YouTube to The Cloud to ensure its streaming of the first live concert -- at the time the most-viewed live event in Internet history -- would not crash. Later that year, he and Digitaria were honored with Habro’s esteemed Corporate Innovation Award for engaging The Cloud to support the game company’s global poll for a new international Monopoly game.
