Vardot Named a Finalist in 2022 Acquia Engage Awards

Vardot proudly announces its selection as a finalist for the 2022 Acquia Engage Awards in Media & Entertainment. The Acquia Engage Awards recognize high-impact digital experiences that organizations worldwide are building with the Acquia Open Digital Experience Platform (DXP), including Acquia Drupal Cloud and Acquia Marketing Cloud. 

Acquia received a record number of submissions from customers and partners, with over 120 entries this year. Finalists each demonstrate an advanced level of functionality, integration, performance, and user experience. Winners will be selected by a third-party panel of judges. So stay tuned as the winners will be announced on Oct 4, 2022!

The nominated project for Vardot was The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, an independent, non-partisan newsletter that analyzes elections and campaigns for the US House of Representatives, US Senate, Governors, and President as well as American political trends. The Cook Political Report was looking to meet its subscribers' expectations by providing a seamless, user-centric website that showcases its content. Its goal was to close the gap in how readers could subscribe seamlessly and click through from the CPR weekly newsletters for direct access to paywalled content. Additionally, the CPR team wanted to increase its reach and engagement with an elevated layout, swift user experience, improved search function, and resilient performance to meet the traffic peaks during election seasons.

“We are extremely proud of the work and the success metrics achieved in building, enhancing, and supporting The Cook Political Report web platform, and are very happy these efforts have been crowned by this nomination,”

- Mohammed Razem, Chief Executive Officer at Vardot.
 

This is where Vardot came in. The Cook Political Report sought out Vardot's award-winning Drupal web design and development services to update the Cook Political Report's website using Drupal and Varbase CMS. 

"Drupal teams can be tough to find, and Vardot has exceeded our already high expectations at every turn,"
- Kathryn Hamm, Chief Operating Officer of The Cook Political Report.
