Gladeye wins five at 2012 Communicator Awards

Auckland based digital creative agency Gladeye has hauled in a total of five awards at the 18th Annual Communicator Awards 2012, including three Gold Awards of Excellence.

The Communicator Awards is an international awards program recognizing big ideas in marketing and communications and honors work that transcends innovation and craft – work that made a lasting impact.

The Communicator Awards is judged by the International Academy of Visual Arts.

Gladeye’s three golds were awarded for Moa Beer, Collette Dinnigan and the agency’s own portfolio website Gladeye  – a special award for Excellence in Visual Appeal.

In business since 2006, Gladeye recently moved from Herne Bay to a new studio space in

Parnell, and is growing the agency team. 

Tarver concluded: “It’s our strength that we have creative, design and execution under one roof. There’s a killer atmosphere when you get the right team together and let them feed off each other for the duration of a project.”
