Philadelphia, PA – Key Medium and a team of local creatives were honored as a 2019 Gold AVA Digital Award winner for developing a world-class digital experience — the new Philadelphia Works website. The announcement was made at Key Medium headquarters at 1025 Hamilton Street, Suite 201, Philadelphia, PA 19123.
The completely revamped website features a streamlined and simplified component-based design system, improved functionality, and enriched content areas that connects residents with career opportunities and provide employers with access to the talent they need to be competitive.
Mobile-First, Streamlined Design
The website’s mobile-first and modern platform is designed for improved user experience. This enables users to be able to digest information in chunks, with the most relevant, useful content first, and as quickly as possible. This ensures the best experience possible, with speed and usability top-of-mind, rather than an afterthought.
Improved Access to Opportunity
The new site features a wealth of easy to access information and features interactive reports and trends, an interactive map of programs for young adults, an interactive career pathway selector, and so much more.
Award-Winning Development
The new site has been selected as a Gold award recipient in the Mobile Information Experience category by AVA Digital Awards, administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communications Professionals. AVA is an international competition that recognizes outstanding work by creative professionals involved in the concept, direction, design, and production of media that is part of the evolution of digital communication.
Local Talent Delivered
Developed by Ali Jaffar at Key Medium, with content strategy by Rachel Dukeman at RR Creative and Kasey Thompson, the new PhilaWorks.org is a testament to our region’s talented workforce. The design was produced by P’unk Avenue in conjunction with a committee at Philadelphia Works led by Meg Shope Koppel, Ph.D., Chief Research Officer and Elena Vayner, Manager of Programming. Philadelphia Works is proud to hire local talent.
