Rodeo Austin’s website, originally launched in November 2009, was our first website built with the Saffire Event Website platform.  Now others in the fair and rodeo industry are singing its praises.

Rodeo Austin was awarded “Outstanding Website” at the International Association of Fairs and Expositions convention in Las Vegas for the 250-500K attendees category.

And just a few weeks later, the Rodeo Austin website was awarded “Best Website” at the Texas Association of Fairs and Events convention here in Austin.

We are proud to be Rodeo Austin’s interactive partner and look forward to much more success as their website continues to evolve with Saffire.

Our team also looks forward to forming new relationships with the other members of TAFE and IAFE.  We are now associate members of both organizations and would like to work with other members in need of a new event website.

Our team is excited to be named one of only two finalists in the ecommerce category for the 33rd John Caples International Award for our work on the KEEN ecommerce website.

In order to be nominated in this category, the website’s main purpose must be selling products or services directly from the site and collect billing information, shipping information and other data. The ecommerce websites were judged on overall design, ease of navigation, extension of main brand, plus appropriate use of technology.

The John Caples International Awards were founded in 1978 by Andi Emerson, a direct marketing pioneer, in order to honor well-recognized copywriter John Caples. This award honors the best in direct and interactive marketing around the world.

We are proud that the KEEN website was nominated for this prestigious award.
