Berndt Group Named #5 Interactive Design Firm Internationally!
December 14, 2009
BALTIMORE, MD—The Berndt Group, a Baltimore, Maryland-based full service interactive agency, announced that it was included on a list of "The Top Ten Interactive Design Firms" produced by the web site www.bestwebdesignagencies.com, a vendor-neutral organization that evaluates Web Design Firms internationally based on a broad set of criteria.
www.bestwebdesignagencies.com ranked The Berndt Group as the #5 best interactive design firm on the list. In addition to The Berndt Group, the "Top Ten" list included a number of the most well-known web developers in the world, including Razorfish, Second Story, Agency.Com, iWeb and others. The ranking was a surprise for The Berndt Group, who had not been in contact with the organization.
John Berndt, CEO and Chief Strategist of The Berndt Group had this to say about the ranking: "This is a great watershed moment in the development of our firm for three reasons. First, it is an unexpected, but completely positive validation of all the hard work we've sustained for the past eighteen years. Second, it's great that while staying small or moderately sized, we've come to be able to compete at this level of quality—and it proves that we are right in trying to take our business to the next level. And third, it's really great to be in the distinguished company of some of the top web firms in the world, in some cases, firms that have been an inspiration to our practice."
Berndt added, "I think that we won this ranking entirely because of the quality of people we have been able recruit and retain. We are much smaller than many of these other firms, and had virtually no startup capital. Without our great, tightly knit team, this would have never happened."
The ranking comes on the heels of many other accolades for The Berndt Group, including three Webby Awards (The “Oscar” of the web), most recently for our work on the Arts Every Day web site, a 2009 Ektron All-Star Award for our work on the Association of Zoos and Aquariums web site, Ektron Partner of the Month, and a consistent history of winning at least three national design awards each year, for the past ten years, from various organizations.
