Marker Seven, an award-winning boutique interactive agency, today announced it received the prestigious “Best in Class” Interactive Media Award (IMA) in the Public Relations Category for the Text 100 Website, a leading global public relations firm. The IMA selected Marker Seven for the top award from the 19 entries submitted in the Public Relations category.

”Each of our clients has a unique set of objectives relative to conveying its business proposition to an online audience,” said John Clauss, Marker Seven president. “We work closely with our clients to understand those objectives and then apply our technical and creative talents to building a site that supports those goals. We therefore are very proud of this prestigious honor bestowed on us by the IMA for the Text 100 Website, which we view as a strong validation of our process and performance.”

The Best in Class Award is the highest honor bestowed by the Interactive Media Awards. It represents the very best in planning, execution and overall professionalism. IMA judges evaluate Website entries based on design, content, feature functionality, usability and standards compliance. In order to earn the Best in Class Award level, a site has to excel in each of these areas, which is an achievement only a fraction of sites in the IMA competition earn each year.
