Zoo website wins national award

CIPR`s Joanne Sweeney with zoo staff and lemurs

16 February 2010

Ring-tailed lemurs at Belfast Zoo have welcomed the zoo’s national CIPR Grand Prix award for best website. The website was awarded the CIPR Pride award at a regional level and went on to win the UK wide CIPR Grand Prix award.

There are only 24 CIPR Presidents Grand Prix awards given all over the UK each year. The website award was handed over by CIPR NI chair Joanne Sweeney, and was received by the zoo’s marketing team.

The CIPR website quotes, “The judges very much liked this website and the fun and interactive nature of the pages. The likable and cute cartoon characters who populate the pages are a welcome addition and the Kids’ Zone was particularly attractive and fun. Each page was full of information, displayed in a clear way without the design or page layout interfering with the experience. Great work.”
