Kalamazoo, MI (PRWEB) September 21, 2007 -- Yes, there really is a Kalamazoo ... and some of the best interactive work in the world is coming from there.
Competing against entries from more than 40 countries, Kalamazoo, Mich.-based creative agency Biggs|Gilmore took home the Top Agency Award and a record-tying 20 WebAwards in an annual competition sponsored by the Web Marketing Association.
The Top Agency Award recognizes consistently outstanding development. This year, Biggs|Gilmore won multiple WebAwards across a wide range of categories, including two Best of Industry awards and eight Outstanding Website awards.

In the WebAwards, Web sites compete head-to-head within their industry and against an overall standard of excellence. For eight years in a row, Biggs|Gilmore has won multiple WebAwards, but this year was the agency's strongest showing to date and the first time it has been recognized with the Top Agency Award distinction.
Biggs|Gilmore won awards for Best Food Industry Website for Pop-Tarts and Best Pharmaceuticals Website for Perrigo. The agency also nabbed Outstanding Website awards for All Ears Theatre, Apple Jacks, Go-Tarts, Rice Krispies, Yogos, and several other Pop-Tarts sites.
"It's a true honor to be awarded for our work across such a diverse group of brands," said Marino Puhalj, vice president/creative director.
Biggs|Gilmore earned 11 Standard of Excellence awards for American Idols Live, Gilmore Keyboard Festival, Healthy Beginnings, LifeWise Health Plan, Kellogg Company, PediaCare, Ready Crust, Smart Start and Zimmer.
