San Francisco, California, May 9, 2017—The 15th Annual American Business Awards has announced its results for 2017, and SweetRush, in collaboration with its clients, has been awarded three coveted Stevie® Awards—one Gold and two Silvers.
Training Mobile Sites & Apps: GOLD Award with Bridgestone Americas
In the Training Mobile Sites & Apps category, Counter Intelligence, a sophisticated mobile game designed to teach sales skills to an extended enterprise audience of sales associates for Bridgestone Americas, won GOLD.
“This is very impressive, both showcasing the training product but also in its overall quality,” said one judge reviewing the mobile game. Other comments about Counter Intelligence included “brilliant use of gamification to entertain and educate,” “well thought out and superb production value,” and “really fun and interactive training tool!”
Training Video: SILVER Award with Bridgestone Americas
In the Training Video category, Natural Inspirations, a fully custom 3-D animated video for Bridgestone Americas about tire technology for sales associates, won SILVER.
“Extremely high-quality animation used to explain difficult science and engineering concepts in a simple and easy to understand way,” commented one judge. Another offered this: “Very creative approach to explaining what can be a complicated research and application approach. Well executed and a good length for training!”
Training Video: SILVER Award with Hilton
Also in the Training Video category, a SILVER award was given to the Hilton Honors promotional/motivational video, a fully custom animated video about the loyalty program and its learning curriculum for Hilton Team Members.
“Wonderfully art directed with an effective and clear message that hits early in the video so it stays in the viewer’s mind as they are watching. A great combination of both style and substance” said one judge. Another recognized the animation was well executed from a technical perspective: “The animation nicely flows together, bringing out key points in the message.”
Arturo Schwartzberg, SweetRush Cofounder and Chairman, said, “Mobile, gamification and video for learning are consistently among the top trends in learning and development. As you can see from the judges’ comments, SweetRush is recognized for infusing these learning tools with creativity, high production values, and clear messages, making them effective for learners…and fun!”
