Gongos Wins "DIVA" at North American Insights & Innovation Exchange

AUBURN HILLS, MI--(Marketwired - Jun 17, 2015) - Gongos, Inc. received the Data Insight Visualization Award (DIVA) at the 3^rd annual Insight Innovation eXchange (IIeX) North America. This award acknowledges and celebrates the most innovative and effective data visualization techniques within the insights industry. In addition to accepting the award on Gongos' behalf, Brett Bridges, Director of the company's insight curation practice, Arti|fact, joined an expert panel to discuss the importance -- and evolution -- of data visualization and storytelling.

Gongos was among three finalists judged on balancing information design and delivery with originality and creativity. Its submitted interactive portal "Millennial Observer" utilized multiple communication mediums to present actionable insights and sensory experiences for audiences. High-definition footage, narrated voiceovers, and iconic graphics contributed to a well-balanced use of mediums while retaining the integrity of primary and secondary research findings.

"The work Gongos submitted was both playful and inventive without sacrificing the rigor of the insights," said Lenny Murphy of GreenBook. "The judges found the interactive content to be brimming with snack-able pieces of information that really captured the soul of millennials. In short, it rocked!"

The "Millennial Observer" project was conceived, designed, and executed by a multidisciplinary team, including:

Brett Bridges, Curator | Consultant
Sam Herzing, Producer
Dan Koenig, Developer
Nick Wright, Data Analyst
Beth Pidcock, Designer
Tim Riley, Videographer
