Nashville Marketing Agency, JLB, Recognized in Two Sectors of the Web Excellence Awards


JLB, in partnership with The Factory and Misa Metal Processing, wins in two categories at the Annual Web Excellence Awards competition.

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Oct. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Web Excellence Awards, a leading international interactive web awards competition, has announced the 2023 award winners to highlight this year’s “best of the best” in web design and development.

JLB has been recognized for its design excellence in the sectors Shopping and Manufacturing.

Built in 1929, as a manufacturing plant, the building once named Dortch Stove Works, holds The Factory at Franklin, a mixed dining, retail, and entertainment center. While they already had an established web presence, JLB’s focus was on creating an experience and highlighting their branding rather than just informational pages. The extensive history of their location is highlighted by the timeline on their homepage which was built using a custom slider.

This branding and website refresh coincides with them remodeling their building and creates an experience that is fun, playful, and engaging. Other custom elements include the Shops & Dining section which displays nine different businesses every time the page is refreshed.

Misa Metal is a metal processing company with facilities across the Southeast and Midwest. Previously, their only online presence was a landing page on their parent company’s website. With this newly built website, JLB’s goal was to market and appeal to a younger workforce.

This is done through a custom build that incorporates imagery that highlights what sets them apart such as their capabilities, benefits, and career opportunities.

Mathematic Studio’s Implementation of Hammerspace Awarded Best of Show at IBC2023 by TVTech


Hammerspace’s Data Orchestration System enables Mathematic to utilize its existing storage resources and infrastructure and tie all of the studio’s sites together into a seamless collaborative environment across multiple silos, sites and clouds.

Prior to Hammerspace, Mathematic was copying files using its dedicated point-to-point (P2P) fiber or physically shipping file copies on hard drives back and forth between its offices to enable its remote team members to work on projects – the volume of data for such projects was so great that it was impractical to send the files electronically between sites. This approach quickly became unsustainable, given increasing deadline pressures and the increasing volume of projects.

Hammerspace’s native integration with tools such as Autodesk ShotGrid and Flame enables artists to continue using tools they are used to, providing users anywhere the ability to collaborate live, regardless of storage type or infrastructure, as though they are all local.

Further, because Hammerspace enables customers to use existing storage from any vendor, Mathematic could rapidly put the data orchestration system into operation with minimal disruption to existing projects.

“We tried other solutions, but they were all too disruptive and involved data copies and delays,” said Clement Germain, Lead Flame Artist and VFX Supervisor at Mathematic. “With Hammerspace, we could simply plug in all our storage arrays and have all the data immediately available to all our users across all office locations, including those in Canada and the United States. Being able to seamlessly bridge all of our locations into a multi-site global namespace allows our artists to collaborate on the same files in a live file system, and we no longer have to wrangle file copies between locations.”

The Best of Show awards recognized the best broadcast products and solutions on display at IBC2023, with hundreds of nominations considered. Industry experts, speakers and editors reviewed all entries. The judging criteria included how diverse and comprehensive the product’s features are, how easy it is to use and integrate with other products, its value for money and how innovative and unique it is within the market.
