2011 Cassies Awards Winners

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011 at 2:30pm -- Holly WrightBookmark and Share


We broke the news of the Cassies winners live on twitter during our inaugural awards ceremony at the User Conference, but for those of you who don't follow our twitter stream (why not, by the way?), here's a recap of what went down last Tuesday.

Client Relations Manager, Chris Armistead, kicked off the ceremony during our Tuesday lunch by explaining that the Cassies are no laughing matter, a fact that we've come to really appreciate since the ceremony. Then members of the Hannon Hill team took turns introducing each category, reviewing the nominees, and announcing the winners. Our winners—gracious yet mostly sitting as far away from the podium as possible—walked up to claim their trophies and make acceptance speeches, which ranged from long and emotional to short and humorous. It was the perfect combination of glittering trophies, red carpet business casual style and awkward hilarity.

Below are the winners of the Cassies awards. If you would like to review the individuals and organizations that were nominated, please read our Vote for the Cassies post from August.

  1. Early Adopter - University of New Brunswick for its use of the WordPress connector and for using database publishing so extensively.
  2. Lightening Bolt Award - Texas A&M Texarkana for implementing their new site within just a week and having gone through a re-design already.
