MVP Honored with a Davey Award for Stamford Investment Bank CoveView Advisors Website
Minneapolis, December 5, 2019 – MVP Marketing + Design, Inc., a Minneapolis Digital Marketing Agency and website design firm, is thrilled to announce that the Davey Awards recognized the firm’s branding and website design creativity with a Silver Davey Award. MVP won recognition for its distinctive Professional Services website on behalf of Stamford-based Investment Bank CoveView Advisors.
For 10 years CoveView Advisors has been advising corporate finance with creative problem solving and proven methodology. The independent advisory firm has offices in Stamford, Connecticut, which is considered as being in the Greater New York metropolitan area. The boutique middle market investment bank is known for their combination of creativity and real-world expertise.
The new site’s design was crafted for a smooth visitor experience. MVP used nautical imagery to create an immersive exploration of CoveView’s core capabilities. The application of a new web trend, parallax scrolling, allows design elements to move at different speeds to take visitors on a virtual journey. The navigation was optimized by MVP’s in-house usability experts to help potential partners find what they’re looking for faster.
One custom feature of this tailor-made website: MVP tombstone-making technology. CoveView staff can effortlessly add new transaction logos without the need to first import company logos into Photoshop. Making the site easy to administer is an important part of the development process.
Ken Fontaine, Vice President of CoveView Advisors, who helped MVP navigate the projects design and development intricacies with his firm’s partners stated, “Hats off to MVP for winning this award on our behalf. The crew at CoveView expected no less. The MVP team was great to work with and their new site is as they would say “invaluable” to our new business development efforts.”
Said Dick Weinrib, MVP’s President and CEO, “We are extremely pleased that our site for M&A firm CoveView won recognition in the highly competitive professional service category. We would again like to thank the AIVA academy for recognizing MVP’s talented team of website designers, developers, and project managers who crafted such a distinctive site on CoveView’s behalf.”
