LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - June 06, 2016) - AvatarLabs, the award-winning, full-service digital agency that leads in innovation, design and technology for Fortune 500 corporate brands and the world's top entertainment companies, announced today that its work on season one of the groundbreaking Netflix show, Narcos, was awarded with a 2016 THINKLA Award for their dynamic online media campaign.
"We are honored to be recognized for our continued innovation in the digital space," said Rex Cook, founder and Executive Creative Director of AvatarLabs. "By working with cutting-edge premium content partners such as Netflix, we're able to execute on what our agency has always stood for: creativity paired with both technical and production excellence at the very highest levels."
Within recent months AvatarLabs has been receiving top honors for their online media campaign for the critically acclaimed series. To introduce domestic and international audiences to this epic drama, Netflix required a suite of high-impact ad units with the flexibility to be adaptable to any market. The dynamic global campaign, based on motion assets, key art and unit photography, included multiple elements that could be swapped out depending on each territory's marketing needs and featured both HTML5 and Flash ads. AvatarLabs created over 100 rich media units with dozens of dynamic variations for each in conjunction DoubleClick and Google Web Designer.

This year's other honorees include notable individuals and brands such as First Lady Michelle Obama, Jimmy Kimmel, Jessica Alba, Tumblr, Spotify, HBO, Vice, the New York Times, The Weeknd and more.
