Sydney independent digital agency Wonderful has won multiple awards at this year’s international Communicator Awards, run by the US Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts.
The agency took home four golds and two silvers for its work with Aruma and Millbray, marking international recognition for its digital experience work.
Gold for Aruma website work
Wonderful won three gold awards for its work with Aruma, one of Australia’s leading not-for-profit disability service providers.
The agency was recognised in the categories of best general non-profit website, best user experience, and best features, structure and navigation.
Aruma supports more than 4,000 people across New South Wales, ACT, Queensland and Victoria.
Millbray work recognised
Wonderful also secured gold in the best user interface category for Millbray.
The agency also won two silver awards for Millbray: best general property website and best visual appeal (aesthetic).
Millbray was launched to meet growing demand among Australians over 50 for high-quality residential living.
Wonderful helped lead the digital foundations for Millbray and its first community, Ashcroft in Queensland. The agency’s work covered mobile-first experience design, a unified responsive design system, engineering, scalable content architecture and performance analytics.
