FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Accolades keep coming for ‘What’s On’ City of Sydney and Frank Digital

SYDNEY, NSW: Sydney based digital agency, Frank Digital, has added two Gold Awards of Excellence at the 22nd Annual Communicator Awards to their growing list of international credits for the coveted ‘What’s On’ City of Sydney events platform.

With over 6,000 entries received from around the world, the latest accolade is the agency’s most significant competitive honor for creative excellence, adding to the string of awards already received for their work creating the City of Sydney’s events website that include Davey and Create Awards for Best Events Website. The platform is also currently a finalist in two categories for the prestigious 25th annual AIMIA awards to be awarded in June 2016.

The project brief challenged Frank’s team of creative technologists to create a home for the vibrant events of Sydney, whilst providing a beautiful and unique digital user experience. Their clever website enables content to be syndicated across diverse digital touch points, allowing end-users an easy way to navigate the vast array of events across the city.

The online events platform was created specifically for Sydneysiders and tourists alike, ensuring users could gain access to quick and up to date information. One of the core features of the new app is the public event discovery and submissions feature, where user generated data is received and moderated by city staff to ensure strict guidelines are met while displaying the best events from across the city. This feature ensures quality control is maintained and allows the public to take part in quality content generation. Visit whatson.sydney for more information.
