Graham CarrollIt’s a Happy Thursday here at Friday Agency. We just got the news that we’ve been shortlisted for 3 awards at this year’s eir Spiders.
We have work nominated for Best eRetail, the new category Best User Experience and we are also in the mix for Best Agency.
Running 21 years now, the Spiders are Ireland’s longest-standing and most prestigious internet awards, celebrating the very best in creativity and innovation. There is some top work from some of the best creative teams in Ireland.
This year’s awards will be MC’d by Panti Bliss and are held again at The Doubletree Hilton on Wednesday, November 30th.
Awards:
Best User Experience – St Patrick’s Cathedral
St. Patrick’s Cathedral is a place of huge historical significance and worship and one of Ireland’s most popular tourist attractions. Friday worked closely with the cathedral team to research, plan, design and deliver a truly special website for this iconic Irish building.
Launched in early 2016, the new website has been a huge success and won Best Website last month at the IIA New Visionary Awards in Dublin.
Best eRetail – iClothing.com
Friday delivered a fresh and modern new user experience for Ireland’s largest online fashion retailer, iClothing.com.
Having first created a sharp new brand identity for iClothing.com, the Friday UX team worked through detailed planning, wireframes and bespoke UX design for the website.
The core goals were to showcase their products and redesign the user experience to grow engagement, conversion and online sales.
The website was also recently a winner of the 2016 IIA Net Visionary Award for Best Ecommerce Execution.
Best Agency
We are thrilled to be announced for Best Agency (10 people) at this year’s awards. There is some stiff competition in the shortlist and again we feel proud to be in the mix.
Graham is a co-Founder and Head of Strategy at Friday Agency. He writes mostly about Strategy, Content and UX here, and he talks, lectures and sometimes shouts about these things too.
