AAAA Gold!
Link Development Wins AAAA Gold!

Cairo, Egypt, 29 December 2002

Link Development, a wholly owned subsidiary of LINKdotNET, and leading development house in the Middle East won the American University's Annual Advertising Award (A.A.A.A.) gold award in web-site design for its work on Yallabina.com.

Taking users fun lives seriously in Cairo, Alexandria and Amman, Yallabina is the premier entertainment portal for Arabs. With its extensive movie, nightlife and restaurant search engines cumulated into one powerful “Entertainment Finder,” Yallabina is the online stop to see “What’s On” in your favorite city. In 2002, Link Development re-designed and re-branded Yallabina giving the portal a new fresh look. The new design has met with great appeal leading to the AAAA Gold Award for Web-Site Design.

The AUC Annual Advertising Awards (AAAA), begun in 1997, recognizes outstanding advertising with Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals awarded in six different categories: TV, print, radio, outdoor, and electronic “interactive” advertising, in addition to IMC campaigns. This prestigious award is dedicated to recognizing "superior advertising, creativity and execution techniques." Five leading Egyptian and American marketing and advertising experts sit on the judgment panel of the AAAA.
