SapientNitro Honored with 35 Awards at 2015 W3 Awards


SapientNitro, including Second Story, Campfire and the community, was honored with nine gold and 25 silver awards at the 2015 W3 Awards. The agency, part of Publicis.Sapient, also received a prestigious "Best in Show" award for The Target (News - Alert) Wish List™ app, which was developed and launched in partnership with Target Corporation.

"We are extremely proud to have so many examples of our client work recognized for outstanding creativity from among the nearly 5000 entries in this year's W3 Awards," said Gaston Legorburu, worldwide chief creative officer, SapientNitro. "At SapientNitro, we consider ourselves fortunate to work with some of the best brands in the world to develop and execute the boundary-breaking ideas that fuel these award-winning campaigns."

The Target Wish List, which received a "Best in Show" award in the mobile category, is a dual app experience developed by SapientNitro and Target. The app allows children to create personalized holiday wish lists, which parents can then use to organize shopping and share requests with friends and family. The lists are integrated with Target's Registry functionality, which allows users to track purchases and avoid gift duplication.

"The Target Wish List app was a runaway success for our client, generating 100,000 holiday shopping lists featuring 1.7 million items and representing a total sales potential of $92.3 million within the first six weeks of its launch," said John Biondi, Creative Director - Minneapolis, SapientNitro. "We are pleased to accept this award on behalf of our partners at Target and look forward to continuing to work together on this and other projects that help provide a superior user experience for Target customers."
