Annual awards honor organizations creating innovative digital experiences that impact customers, employees, students, and citizens

Today, Vardot would like to announce that it has been selected as a finalist for the 2021 Acquia Engage Awards in media and entertainment. The Acquia Engage Awards recognize high-impact digital experiences that organizations around the world are building with the Acquia Open Digital Experience Platform (DXP), including Acquia Drupal Cloud and Acquia Marketing Cloud. Winners will be announced on Tuesday, October 26, on the first day of Acquia Engage

Acquia received a record number of submissions from customers and partners. Finalists each demonstrate an advanced level of functionality, integration, performance, and user experience. Winners will be selected by a third-party panel of judges.

“The creativity and business results on display with this year’s Engage Award finalists is impressive and inspirational,” said Lynne Capozzi, Chief Marketing Officer at Acquia. “We’re honored to feature their many stories, and to showcase their responsiveness to customer needs, inventive use of technology, and return on investment.”

The nominated project for Vardot was the top newspaper website in the UAE, Dar Al Khaleej. Dar Al Khaleej wanted to provide their readers with a convenient and cutting edge newspaper experience personalized across all devices - and they identified Drupal as the ideal technology to support their transformative ambitions.

This is where Vardot came in. Dar Al Khaleej has sought out Vardot’s award-winning Drupal web design and development services to build the new Al Khaleej website using Drupal and Varbase CMS. 

We are extremely proud of the work and the success metrics achieved in building, launching, and supporting Dar Al Khaleej news platform, and are very happy these efforts have been crowned by this nomination.
