Powerful’s Collaboration with Arkansas Living Magazine Wins Silver at Spotlight on Excellence Awards
BALTIMORE, MD – Powerful is delighted to announce that Arkansas Living Magazine has won the Silver Award for Best Web-Based Project in Classification 4: Statewide Association, G&T, or Service Member at the Spotlight on Excellence Awards at the NRECA Connect Conference. This recognition honors the collaborative effort between Arkansas Living Magazine and Powerful in creating an exceptional online presence.
Arkansas Living Magazine, partnered with Powerful to revamp their website, ensuring it reflects their 77-year legacy while embracing modern design and usability. The project involved the expertise of Jennifer Christman Cia and Nancy Meador from Arkansas Living, with Anna Stopa leading the design and Caleigh Pickard managing the project at Powerful.
Jennifer Christman, Editor of Arkansas Living Magazine, expressed her satisfaction with the collaboration: “With the largest circulation of any publication in the state and a 77-year history, Arkansas Living magazine is a living legacy. We chose Powerful to redesign our website, as the company has completed several other projects for our cooperatives — always with great results and satisfaction. Collaborating with Powerful’s professional, creative and intuitive team was a dream; they listened to what we wanted, and they made the magic happen. The new site is attractive, easy to navigate and mobile-friendly and, best of all, it’s a true reflection of our time-honored brand.”
The redesigned website features a fresh look, improved reader-friendliness, and mobile compatibility, all while maintaining the essence of the magazine’s long-standing brand. The project also inspired a new masthead/logo and the integration of creative icons into the print edition.
“We are incredibly proud of the work done for Arkansas Living Magazine,” said Charlie Stanley, CEO of Powerful. “The dedication and vision of Jennifer Christman, Nancy Meador, and our own Anna Stopa and Caleigh Pickard made this project a success. This award is a testament to our commitment to excellence and collaboration.”
