New York, NY, July 8, 2003 -- Swandivedigital, a design and communications agency, today announced the selection of founder and creative director Brian Reisinger to judge the Web Marketing Association's 7th Annual WebAward Competition (http://www.webaward.org). The premier event bestows recognition on top websites competing head-to-head within specific industries. WebAward entries are submitted by interactive agencies, website owners or in-house marketing and e-commerce departments from more than 19 countries worldwide.

"As the interactive medium continues to grow and mature, there's an ever-increasing amount of great work being done. It's interesting to see what companies are doing creatively and technically, but more importantly to see how they are using the medium to support marketing goals and engage users," said Reisinger. "Awards competitions are good for the industry," he added, "because they encourage participants to strive for the highest standard of excellence among their peers. I love the idea of taking part in this as a judge because, in some small way, I feel I can play a role in helping to raise the proverbial bar."

The winners of the 2003 Web Marketing Association's WebAward will be announced in September, 2003 at http://www.webaward.org
