Double accolades for VisitMaine.com

VisitMaine.com and Portland Webworks recently picked up a brace of awards in recognition of the sites continued position at the forefront of online destination marketing.

Firstly, VisitMaine.com garnered praise for the fourth successive year from Travel Weekly’s Magellan Awards. The site was named a Gold Winner in the Destinations category, for the third straight year, and placed alongside other major destinations like Las Vegas, Hawaii and Grand Cayman.

Secondly, and even more recently, Portland Webworks’ work on VisitMaine.com was recognized by Maine’s own creative community, when it received a Gold Award in this year’s Broderson Awards

This marks the first time that Portland Webworks has received a Broderson Award for its work, and is particularly gratifying in that it provides local recognition of the company’s work supporting Maine’s tourism industry.

Although the Broderson Awards are organized by the Ad Club of Maine, their judging panel comes from some of the top creative firms in the country, and apply stringent criteria when reviewing each submission. Portland Webwork’s success, along with that of each of the award recipients, pays testament to the strong state of Maine’s creative industry.
