2022 W3 AWARDS GOLD for the Golden Globes Website

In collaboration with HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association) – renowned for the annual Golden Globes Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles – Pastilla’s team has developed a data-backed strategy and led the redesign and development of the Golden Globes website. We were absolutely honored to be entrusted with one of the world’s leading award show brands. Our main focus was on creating a mobile-first approach and delivering user-centric digital experiences while still capturing HFPA’s identity as a philanthropic publishing enterprise. And throughout all that, we feel our designers managed to establish a dramatic, elegant visual language that is truly reflective of the excitement and drama of the show itself.

2022 W3 AWARDS GOLD for BRC’s Website Design

One of the world’s leading experiential design and production companies, BRC Imagination Arts asked us to help them reimagine their own digital portal to the world. That mandated that we collaborate with them to get a deep understanding of their constituents and their needs and decide how to best structure our search, navigation, and content. And given the variety and rich content assets across their portfolio, our team needed to build a flexible content editing system and taxonomy that would allow them to customize their presentations in a manner that was extremely flexible – but still provided a simple, intuitive interface. Designers, developers, and stakeholders all came together to launch something bold and beautiful, befitting their brand and expertise, that also catered to the needs of those looking to learn more about their services and capabilities.

2022 W3 AWARDS SILVER for the Cherokee Federal Solutions Video 

Under the banner of “Team Hope,” the United States Department of Health and Human Services – or the HHS for short – began working on pulling children from holding centers located at the border and into an Emergency Intake Site (EIS) and providing them with shelter, health checks, vaccination, education, and other valuable resources, while their case managers worked on reuniting the children with their families. The Cherokee Nation, Cherokee Federal, and HHS, along with the City of Pomona, and thousands of volunteers, came together and, within a year, reunified more than 8000 children with their families. Our digital agency had the honor of telling that story, partnering with Cherokee Federal to produce this film and celebrate the work “Team Hope” has done.

It’s been an extraordinary honor and privilege not only to earn these awards – but to be a part of these projects, too. Pastilla’s team would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate other winning entries on their exceptional work and the immense talent they’ve demonstrated so far.
