“We are proud to have won gold at the W3. Our team at Cantaloupe has worked hard to portray and reflect the brand through this website. It took months of planning before we could piece together a site with content and photos contributed by travelers,” said Nadeem Rajabdeen, Director Sales and Marketing at Cantaloupe & Co. “To have that work recognized by the AIVA and brands such as Ralph Lauren which has always inspired us from the inception is immensely gratifying.”  

Cantaloupe bagged the Gold Award in the category of ‘Websites for Hotels and Lodging’ at the 10th International W3 awards which had received over 4800 submissions this year alone including many from Fortune 500 companies. 

Describing the site, Nadeem added that Cantaloupe had chosen to work with eMarketing Eye to create and conceptualize the site. “They crafted a plan which not only covered the aesthetics but end results and target markets. During our first meetings I mentioned that we wished to win an award and I’m glad the hard work paid off.”
