FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 2012, Akron, Ohio — Hitchcock Fleming & Associates, Inc. and Akro-Mils have been honored by the Web Marketing Association with the 2012 Best B2B Mobile WebAward for the agency’s work on Akro-Mils’ new mobile website.
 
The MobileWebAwards Competition honors excellence in mobile websites and apps, recognizes the individuals and organizations responsible, and showcases the best in award-winning mobile development.

Akro-Mils’ new mobile site, which launched in February 2012 alongside the company’s new full website, is available on mobile phones and devices at akro-mils.com.

“Businesses of all kinds need specialized storage, organization and transport products to increase efficiencies and reduce costs — and they need the process of finding these products to be efficient, too,” HFA wrote for the contest entry. “Akro-Mils, an industry leader in materials handling solutions, hired Hitchcock Fleming & Associates to create a mobile website that would make choosing and obtaining the right solution fast and easy anytime, anywhere. The new mobile site needed to be convenient for end-users as well as distributors and catalogers serving a variety of industries…  Now, no matter who visits the site, what they need is just a single click away.”
