DES MOINES, IA – March 1, 2010 – Flying Hippo is the “best of the best” in designing websites for yet another year. The Des Moines-based web site developer received a Best of Class award, a first-place Gold ADDY, and three Silver ADDYs in capturing top honors at this year’s ADDY award ceremony.

Flying Hippo won five awards for their website work, taking home the majority of awards in the Interactive category. The Best in Class award for self-promotion was awarded on the basis of a campaign for PUSH Branding and Design. Flying Hippo’s winning entry now advances to the district level in the nationwide competition.

The ADDYs, sponsored by the American Advertising Federation (AAF) of Des Moines, awarded Flying Hippo with a Gold ADDY for the PUSH Branding and Design Website.

In addition, Flying Hippo won Silver ADDYs for its Paradigm Partners website, its Grimes Sweetcorn website, and production for its Big Head Joe web site.
