cbcworldwide.com Receives "Official Honoree" Distinction at 2008 Webby Awards
Parsippany, NJ, April 23, 2008 --(PR.com)-- www.cbcworldwide.com, the recently launched public Web site for Coldwell Banker Commercial, (CBC®), one of the largest commercial real estate brokerage franchise systems, has been named a 2008 Official Honoree of The Webby Awards, the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet. The cbcworldwide.com website was named in the Real Estate category.
Hailed as the "Oscars of the Internet" by the New York Times, The Webby Award is an impressive distinction for the Coldwell Banker Commercial organization as over 10,000 entries from 60 countries and all U.S. 50 states were submitted for the 2008 Webby Awards and fewer than 15 percent were deemed an Official Honoree. Cbcworldwide.com now stands side by side with a “blue ribbon” list of fellow Honorees in the 2008 Real Estate category, as Web sites by Yahoo Real Estate, New York Times Real Estate, and The Corcoran Group were also recognized.
The awards are judged by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, a global organization that includes such luminaries as David Bowie, Harvey Weinstein, Arianna Huffington, Matt Groening, Jamie Oliver and RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser.
“On behalf of the entire Coldwell Banker Commercial organization, we are thrilled and honored that cbcworldwide.com has been recognized with an Official Honoree accolade from the Webby Awards, which validates our position as a technology leader in commercial real estate,” said Rick Davidson, president and COO of Coldwell Banker Commercial. “The anecdotal feedback we have received on our Web site has been spectacular, so this honor confirms that cbcworldwide.com is a true milestone for both our company and the industry. And now, when you combine our award-winning Web site with the new CBC intranet, Blueprint, as well as our sophisticated Web tools and centralized data exchange platform, we now boast a dynamic technology package for our professionals.”
Davidson adds, “A special recognition goes out to the CBC Interactive Marketing team of Jason Silfies, Tom O’Sullivan and Matt Kornfeind who each helped shepherd this initiative through to its completion.”
"The Webby Awards honors the outstanding work that is setting the standards for the Internet," said David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards. "The cbcworldwide.com Web site Official Honoree selection is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of its creators.”
About cbcworldwide.com
Cbcworldwide.com made its official debut in January 2008 and the production was a team effort that represented almost two years of collaborative work and design. Several organizations, including the Coldwell Banker Commercial Affiliates corporate staff, C3Cube, Kinesis Marketing, and Cyberitas all contributed in making cbcworldwide.com a reality.
The site’s progressive features make it one of the most sophisticated in the current commercial real estate market, yet with simple-to-use interactive resources, such as unique property mapping and aerial photography functions. Overall highlights include:
• Enhanced Office and Professional Profile Pages: detailed information on individual CBC offices and sales associates, including experience, services provided, specialties, and notable transactions.
• Interactive Property Searches: The site offers a variety of property search options including search by map, address and type. A key feature is the “mosaic” property view, which gives users a snapshot of multiple properties at one time.
• Search by Map: Innovative mapping functions, including polygon searching that allows users to draw shapes around a specific area to find properties that meet their needs. In many markets, the property can be displayed in the “bird’s eye” view, with the ability to see close-ups of buildings.
