CorporateHistory.net Web work wins Apex Award

CorporateHistory.net’s 125th Anniversary timeline with video for the law firm Jackson Walker has earned a 2013 Apex Award of Excellence for special purpose websites. Co-created with our project partner Communications Design Inc., the anniversary site was one of only two winners in its category. Jackson Walker L.L.P. is a national law firm based in Dallas. JW's culture is unique, as we quickly discovered--easygoing and success-driven all at once.  It was a delight to video-interview so many of the partners, who narrated stories about the firm and its key cases with such verve and precision.

“You were invaluable to us in the process of collecting our history and then presenting it to the world," noted our Jackson Walker client, Interactive Communications Manager Ellen Henderson. Back at you, Ellen!
