TAMPA, FL and DENVER, CO, January, 2013 – Web design, development and digital marketing agency, Bayshore Solutions, is a Leader Award winner in the 2012 Summit Emerging Media Award (Summit EMA) competition for its work on The Florida’s Aquarium’ s website.

The Summit Emerging Media Award competition was created to identify the world’s marketing communication pioneers along with those pushing the bounds of communication. Bayshore Solutions and The Florida Aquarium were honored with the Leader Award; the Leader Award is recognition from Summit EMA for directing movement and helping to lead the industry.

The Florida Aquarium partnered with Bayshore Solutions to deliver a custom website with advanced features functionality along with web best practices to deliver a powerful marketing website for

the aquarium. The website’s success came with the product revenue growth of 133% and conversion rate growth of 49% in the first 60 days after website launch.

“Those involved in today’s emerging media technologies are the leaders who are establishing tomorrow’s avenues of advertising communications,” said Jocelyn Luciano, Executive Director for the Summit International Awards (SIA). “Most communication professionals recognize that established avenues of communication can be reliable and safe however audiences are becoming increasingly fragmented and difficult to engage, inform and affect. Developing, applying and combining emerging media with creative messaging and market awareness is challenging. Achieving this synthesis is what makes earning a Summit EMA a significant achievement.”

“Bayshore Solutions and The Florida Aquarium worked together to develop a truly great website for the non-profit organization,” said Kevin Hourigan, President and CEO of Bayshore Solutions. “It is a distinct honor to be recognized by the Summit International Awards with an Emerging Media Award. This award further exemplifies the extraordinary results received by The Florida Aquarium’s new website with Bayshore Solutions focused web marketing strategy.”
