BAFTA awards Access website brief

Access, the Manchester based creative and digital agency, has been appointed by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) to undertake a website redevelopment project and digital strategy programme to complement the organisation’s online growth strategy. The appointment follows a tender submission and a presentation from shortlisted agencies. 

Access’ appointment by BAFTA will lead to the re-build and enhancement of all elements of the BAFTA website (bafta.org) with support from existing BAFTA partners.

BAFTA has seen its online activity grow extensively in recent years and requires a robust, flexible system to support its future growth. Replacing the current proprietary CMS, the new website will be built on the Drupal open source platform and will deliver an integrated marketing, mobile and e-commerce platform with community features specifically developed for BAFTA members. The site will also integrate with a number of 3rd party systems, including the organisation’s existing CRM system.

Pippa Irvine, digital communications manager for BAFTA said: “Access was awarded the contract based on the Agency’s proven development work, experience in content migrations and ability to provide on-going digital support. We look forward to collaborating with Access to deliver an open source Drupal website with an improved and mobile optimised experience for BAFTA’s growing online audience.” 

Mark Hope, Access’ digital director commented, “This is an exciting new project for us and is a significant recognition of our team’s technical capabilities. We’re also pleased to be adding another global organisation to our client list and one as prestigious as BAFTA is just fantastic. We’re really looking forward to providing BAFTA with the support it needs.
