ZOOZOOM, The Original Online Glossy, was honored with the Webby for Best Fashion Site of 2007 at The 11th Annual Webby Awards, June 5th. The Ceremony was held at Cipriani, Wall Street, New York.

Hosted by comedian Rob Corddry the Webby Award recognized ZOOZOOM for its innovative online Fashion Magazine. In keeping with Webby tradition, winners limit their speeches to just five words. Accepting the award for ZOOZOOM, Publisher David McIntyre said "Not just a pretty face." After the event he explained he was referring to their success in delivering an amazing 27% click through for their advertisers. 'We're more that a collection of original, beautiful pictures, we're a site that delivers results to our advertisers which is why many top luxury brands such as Chanel and Nieman Marcus choose ZOOZOOM as an integral part of their media mix. This is the future for sites that create real and compelling content and for advertisers like Chanel which don't want to be seen in banner ads.'

ZOOZOOM prides itself on its content and design. Commissioning their own fashion and beauty editorials that are comparable in quality and creativity to high-end, glossy print magazines the resulting features are presented large, so you can see every stitch.

ZOOZOOM was saluted alongside Webby Award winners in a wide range of categories from Blog to Fashion to Weird, as well as three Special Achievement honorees - David Bowie (Webby Lifetime Achievement), the eBay community and CEO Meg Whitman (Webby Lifetime Achievement), and YouTube co-founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley (Webby Person of the Year).

Hailed as the "Oscars of the Internet" by the New York Times, The Webby Awards are the leading international honors for websites, interactive advertising, online film and video, and mobile content. The Webby Awards are presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 550-person judging academy whose members include Vinton Cerf, R/GA's Chief Bob Greenberg, 'The Simpson's' creator Matt Groening, Arianna Huffington, and Harvey Weinstein.

ZOOZOOM (http://www.zoozoom.com), the premier online fashion magazine, announces it has been nominated for a Webby Award. Hailed as the 'Oscars of the Internet' by the New York Times, The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet.

Other nominees in this category are Style.com, Gap Watchmechange, Marc Jacobs, Nylon Magazine and Another Magazine.

ZOOZOOM, which is published by McEye Media, has been nominated in the category of Best Fashion Website for the second time; ZOOZOOM won the Fashion Webby in 2002, was nominated in 2005, and in the meantime won commendations from TIME.com, a Pixel Award, a Silver Davey and others.

Design
ZOOZOOM is designed so that the photographs automatically resize to fill the screen, the bigger the screen the bigger the picture. 'You should see this on a 30 inch monitor... wow!' says Publisher David McIntyre. The navigation is simple and the viewer sees the image, not the internet.

Advertising
Unlike other sites that are plagued by small ads that share the screen with the content, ZOOZOOM's proprietary design allows content to be displayed without ads and the ads to be delivered full-screen at a time and place that is in synch with the viewer - it's as nonintrusive as the ads at the end of a TV show. The results are breaking industry records, with some select campaigns enjoying click-through rates of over 20%!

The Davey Awards honors the achievement of the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìCreative David?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s?¢‚Ǩ? where strength comes from ideas, intelligence and out-of-the-box thinking, not a ?¢‚Ǩ?ìGiant?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s?¢‚Ǩ? bankroll. Great work is about fresh ideas and exceptional execution, not the biggest budgets. The Daveylevels the playing ?ج¨?eld so entrants compete with only their peers and can win the recognition they deserve.

The Davey is judged and overseen by the International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA), and underwritten by The Creative Group, the leading creative professional staf?ج¨?ng company in the world, ADWEEK magazine and FSB (Fortune Small Business magazine).

About ZOOZOOM

ZOOZOOM's Publisher David McIntyre believes the next great magazine will be an online magazine. "No disrespect to print, I buy plenty of magazines, but it's a fully developed, mature product. Geek kids aren't drinking Red Bull and working all hours in their garage trying to make a better print magazine. Millions of dollars however are being spent developing new digital formats."

ZOOZOOM is the first magazine from independent publishers McEye Media. It's the original online glossy, a fashion magazine: "Fashion and beauty are perfectly suited to ZOOZOOM's online, interactive environment." says Creative Director Mike Hartley.

ZOOZOOM is a modern magazine in the most modern of media, the internet. With original photography, embedded sound and video plus unlimited space for story depth ZOOZOOM creates a richer fashion experience.

In a market characterized by fashion rules and regulations dictated by brand names and big business ZOOZOOM stands apart: a fashion maverick with integrity, a fashion pioneer with respect for the past.

ZOOZOOM has built its reputation with content that rivals or exceeds that of high-end print magazines with cinematic, narrative-driven fashion editorials and in-depth profiles of today?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s emerging stars in fashion, music, art and culture.

ZOOZOOM is MACROMEDIA Site of the day

Thanks to Macromedia for featuring ZOOZOOM as their Site of the Day. Obviously we're big fans of Macromedia, where we would we be without Flash, the program that makes ZOOZOOM's design and interactivity possible. We'd be frustrated I guess because all our ideas about big originally commissioned fashion photographs, and video contents together with our ideas about non-intrusive full-screen rich media advertising would be just Ideas, or worse we'd be pumping out banner ads and irritating pop-ups within a sea of tiny pictures, just like the rest of the web. So we say thanks for the recognition and we feel good in the company of Mini, The Grammies, IBM, Audi, FIFA and Boeing Other great brands featured in the past month.
