BOSTON, Oct. 28, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The League of American Communications Professionals (LACP) has announced the winners of the 2008 Spotlight Achievement Awards which includes honoring the website www.sabrams.com with the Bronze Overall Award for Best Website, announced on October 26, 2008. The site is the official website of Stephanie Abrams, nationally syndicated radio travel talk show host, featured weekly on Travel WITH Stephanie Abrams on the Business TalkRadio Network and Traveling Feet and CEO of Abrams Hospitality Marketing. The site garnered 94 out of a possible 100 points, tailing the Platinum winner in the Best Website category, Hormel, by only 3 points, which is a $100 million+ company with over 10,000 employees.
Abrams believes that, "With this award, LACP has validated our accomplishments in building a graphically exciting oasis for the person interested in travel that is rich in content and easily navigated. While I have designated the mission of the site in keeping with my radio, television and webisode missions to bring travelers in touch with suppliers and destinations that will inspire, uplift, enhance and enrich their lives, all credit for the creative design and functionality of the site goes to Dru Abrams, Creative Director for sabrams.com, and his company, Persistent Visions. His unique understanding of what is necessary to make the website appealing, efficient, functional, and progressive, makes the process of leading our creative team to produce an award-winning website an exciting experience for all of us!"
Sabrams.com is the only travel-related website to win an award this year. Others recognized for excellence in other communications categories by LACP are such prestigious brand names as Adidas, Eastman Kodak, GE Energy, Intercontinental Hotel Group, Sony Electronics, Toyota, Americgroup, Bombardier, Coca Cola, Prudential Financial, and Yellow Pages Group.
"Clearly, we are in very good company," Abrams notes. "And when you look at these other companies who have won awards for excellence in other communications categories, and whose budgets are in excess of $100 million to $1 billion dollars or more, with 10,000+ employees, it is amazing to see what can be produced when David thinks he is Goliath and performs that way! Sabrams.com's level of excellence is the result of focus on what travelers need to know, a staff packed with talent, the added energy and vision brought to us by Persistent Visions, our joint commitment to excellence, creativity, ingenuity, and drive at Abrams Hospitality Marketing. It is so exciting that sabrams.com is worthy of the accolades of LACP but, most importantly, worthy of the time of web visitors who frequent www.sabrams.com," Abrams concludes.
