(LOS ANGELES, CA) – The Winners of The 2009 W3 Awards have been announced by the International Academy of the Visual Arts today. Receiving nearly 3,000 entries, The W3 Awards honors outstanding Websites, Web Marketing, and Web Video created by some of the best interactive agencies, designers, and creators worldwide.

TMDcreative was among the top winners for their creative work with the Monterey County Work Force Investment Board, Franmara's "Decantus Wine Aerator", and Sun Street Centers, all local companies or organizations.

The W3 Awards honors creative excellence on the web, and recognizes the creative and marketing professionals behind award winning sites, videos and marketing programs. Simply put, the W3 is the first major web competition to be accessible to the biggest agencies, the smallest firms, and everyone in between. Small firms are as likely to win as Fortune 500 companies and international agencies.

"I am very proud of my creative team here at TMDcreative and especially in this case my web developers who work tirelessly to make our clients web sites jump off the screen," said Nick Pasculli, president of TMDcreative. He continued; "It was a real privilege to work with the Monterey County Work Force Investment Board and staff liaison Marleen Esquerra, Frank Chiorazzi of Franmara's Decantus, and Sun Street Centers' executive director Anna Foglia. It's humbling to be recognized for the level of dedication shown by TMD's staff towards our clients."

The W3 is sanctioned and judged by the International Academy of the Visual Arts, an invitation-only body consisting of top-tier professionals from a "Who's Who" of acclaimed media, interactive, advertising, and marketing firms. IAVA members include executives from organizations such as Conde Nast, Coach, Disney, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Estee Lauder, Fry Hammond Barr, HBO, Monster.com, MTV, Polo Ralph Lauren, Sotheby's Institute of Art, Victoria Secret, Wired, Yahoo! and many others.

"We were incredibly impressed by the quality and creativity of this year's entries.

We are thrilled to have reviewed such a diverse and respected pool of work" said Linda Day, the executive director of the IAVA. "On behalf of the entire Academy, we congratulate this year's W3 Award winners including TMDcreative as they continue to advance Internet creativity and greatly contribute to the robust and ever-changing online community."
