The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences
The 61st Annual Emmy® Awards - Celebrate!
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences launched their new emmys.com site in preparation of announcing the nominees for the 2009 Primetime Emmy® Awards. The goal was a site that incorporated a stylish layout, professional video, high quality photo galleries and allowed for flexible content management, managed by their internal staff--all while keeping up with high performance traffic demands. Based on these requirements, Metal Toad Media built emmys.com using Drupal and Brightcove. Drupal is a best-in-class open-source content management system, with a huge developer community. Brightcove offers exceptional online video taking the experience a cut above YouTube and other video providers.
Emmys.com is the first launch of three sites to be development by Metal Toad Media. The Academy's member website, Emmys.tv, the foundation website, emmysfoundation.org and additional changes to emmys.com will coming in the fall of 2009.
