2011 Frebby Award Winners

Category: Communication

KFSN/ABC30

for
ABC30

With over 19,000 fans on Facebook and a fairly new user-generated content system powered by YouTube, this project is backed by an Emmy award winning news team that provides top quality local content to the community — quickly and accurately.


Category: Information

MIKE OSEGUEDA

for
Fresno Beehive

Nobody in Fresno delivers more information about Fresno's nightlife and culture than the winner for this award. Known for his affinity for tacos and rightly dubbed, “the Blogfather,” Mike received several Frebby Award nominations for his contributions to the web.


Category: Commerce

PREMITY

for
Valley Daily Deals

This locally owned and operated company launched a software solution to a daily deal commerce site over two years before Groupon even existed. With over 45,000 e-mail subscribers receiving daily deal offerings.


Category: Action

DUMB DRUM

for
Swede Fest

Using the web to explain and promote an action with a simple interface and a clear call to action, this small but powerful event has had great success at getting both the international and local community engaged in the filmmaking process. It specifically provides an opportunity for Fresnans to explore the art of filmmaking and is incredibly welcoming to amateurs and enthusiasts.


Category: Connection

MY INDIE NATION

for
My Indie Nation

Bringing together some of the greatest indie musicians from Fresno and around the country, the idea behind this newer blog is to highlight the cool talent and inform the public about up-and-coming bands and concerts.


Category: Inspiration

HUNDRED10

for
Ryan C. Jones Portfolio

After using a templated site for three years, this website simply wasn’t getting the traction it needed to accurately display the beautiful images of this local photographer. After hiring this design firm to custom-design his site, the site received additional 5,000 visits within the first three months. The design was truly inspirational.


Category: Frebby Favorite

NICOLE HAMAKER

for
Pinch My Salt

Nicole moved from the small town of Madera to Sicily and started blogging about her cooking experiences. Now her blog has gained both national and international acclaim and we are fortunate to have her back in the Central Valley.
