EZYield.com Wins Silver Adrian Award for Newly Redesigned Website

EZYield.com earned a Silver Adrian Award in the “Web Marketing” category of the competition for their newly redesigned website, www.ezyield.com. This highly competitive category is typically dominated by hotel property and chain websites. In the 2009 competition, EZYield.com became the only travel service/supplier website to claim an award for their own website.

As part of a 2009 re-branding initiative, EZYield.com took a holistic view at their marketing materials and made sweeping changes designed to reflect the company’s rapid growth and their technologies’ global impact on the hospitality marketplace. Working closely with their marketing firm,

Plan A Public Relations & Marketing, EZYield.com developed a new corporate logo and color scheme, as well as collateral materials and a multi-media advertising campaign. As a web-based software technology company, EZYield.com’s own website was the most critical element of the re-branding process. The goal of the award-winning site was to reinforce their position as the global leader in online channel management technology, while providing an easy-to-navigate hub of information for their users around the world. Flash animations were created to graphically illustrate the technology, and a back-end XML interface was developed to mirror the look and feel of the site.

“As a company that was founded on Internet marketing technology, it is especially exciting to receive an award for Web marketing excellence based on our own website,” stated Ed St. Onge, CEO of EZYield.com. “Being recognized by our peers in the hospitality industry is truly an honor, and I accept on behalf of all our employees worldwide.”

HSMAI will pay tribute to EZYield.com and other award winners during the HSMAI Adrian Awards Gala, to be held on Feb. 1, 2010 at the New York Marriott Marquis in Manhattan. This black-tie affair is expected to be attended by more than 1,000 international hospitality, travel and tourism marketing executives. Adrian Awards benefactor partners include DEPARTURES Magazine, Google, TravelCLICK and TripAdvisor. For more information, please visit
