Hermes Creative and Communicator Awards honor
newly enhanced governor.arkansas.gov
The Office of Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson recently won two
international awards — a Hermes Creative Gold Award and a
Communicator Award of Distinction — both for excellence in a
government website.
Developed in partnership with the Information Network of
Arkansas (INA), the newly enhanced governor.arkansas.gov website
features a fresh, modern look that is designed to keep Arkansas
citizens and state employees informed of the operations and plans
of the Office of the Governor.
“It is an honor to be recognized for our efforts to provide
citizens a faster and more efficient delivery of public information
through the website,” said JR Davis, Communications Director for
the Office of Governor Hutchinson. “With Governor Hutchinson’s
focus on technology, it’s even more meaningful for the website to
be recognized as a benchmark for government websites across the
globe.”
The governor.arkansas.gov homepage tiles feature the Governor’s
top priorities, allowing for citizens to quickly access the latest
information on the computer science initiative, government
transformation, economic development, tax cuts, and Veteran care.
Citizens can also experience a virtual tour of the governor’s
mansion, as well as stay up-to-date with news from around the state
in the new blog, 250. The blog, named after the suite number of the
Governor’s office, goes beyond press conferences and bill signings
to offer a glimpse of the day-to-day life of Governor
Hutchinson.
New pages are continually added to the website, including a page
featuring the recently announced cabinet secretaries. In addition,
the new site was delivered on a platform that allows the Governor’s
staff to make updates as needed — providing for fresh content that
citizens can easily consume from any device.
With over 6,500 entries throughout the United States and
nineteen other countries, the Hermes Creative Awards recognizes
outstanding work in the marketing and communications industry while
promoting the philanthropic nature of its professionals.
Governor.arkansas.gov was honored with a Gold Award for its high
standard of excellence in the Government Website category. The
Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP)
oversees the Hermes Creative Awards and recognition programs, and
has judged more than 200,000 entries since its formation in
1994.
With over 6,000 entries received worldwide, the Communicator
Awards is the largest and most competitive awards program honoring
creative excellence for communications professionals.
Governor.arkansas.gov was recognized with a Communicator Award of
Distinction in the government website category.
