Ion Global Receives Five Awards from Web Marketing Association
Ion Global, Asia's leading integrated e-business
solutions firm and a wholly owned subsidiary of chinadotcom corporation (NASDAQ:
CHINA), today announced that it has received five awards from the US-based Web
Marketing Association (WMA) at its annual WebAward Competition. This marks the
seventh consecutive year that Ion Global has been recognised at the WebAwards since
the WMA's inception in 1997. Of the awards, the highest achievements included "Best
Bank Website" for its work with HSBC Card Services and "Outstanding Website" for the
2004 Hong Kong Arts Festival site. Ion Global is also proud to have received "Standard
of Excellence" awards for its work with other HSBC divisions - HSBC Insurance (Asia-
Pacific) and HSBC Premier Banking - as well as the MTR Corporation.
It is an honour to have been recognised internationally by the Web Marketing Association once
again. In fact, we have received multiple awards every year since they started, which is a true
accolade to our staff," said Herman Cheng, Managing Director of Ion Global. "What we are most
proud to announce is the fourth win for the Hong Kong Arts Festival and the fifth annual win for
our work with HSBC. These stand as a testament to the strong long-term partnerships we have
built with both the corporate sector and non-profit communities we serve," added Cheng.
Douglas Gautier, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Arts Festival commented, "This
recognition by the WMA clearly acknowledges all of the hard work done by our team together
with Ion Global. Having Ion Global as an on-going partner has certainly helped reach our target
customers through this attractive and easy-to-navigate web site, which is reflective of our status
as a premier arts event in Hong Kong and the region."
WebAward judges added about the various sites: "Professional. Allow users to find what they
want directly when they know what they are looking for. Excellent navigation for a site with so
much information. Nice use of Flash to promote marketing offers. Excellent site - great
work... the content is compelling and organised."
These awards follow on the heels of accolades at the 2004 Horizon Interactive Awards, a leading
international awards competition which recognises excellence in interactive media production, for
Ion Global's work on the Consulate General of Brazil in San Francisco.
Running one of the top award programmes in the world, the Web Marketing Association was
founded in 1997 to help set a high standard for Internet marketing and corporate web
development. The WMA produces the WebAwards annually to judge corporate web sites against
an Internet standard and against peer sites within their industry recognising the individual
achievement behind the creation of today's top sites.
