Cyberwoven Wins Big in Bank Standard of Excellence Category at Web Marketing Association Awards

Columbia, SC (Nov. 1, 2023) - Cyberwoven, a full-service brand, marketing, and web agency, is the proud recipient of a Web Marketing Association award. The firm was awarded the Bank Standard of Excellence for its work on AgFirst Farm Credit Bank’s recently launched website. 

“AgFirst’s new website reflects the company’s refreshed visual identity and its recent, once-in-a-lifetime, technical transformation,” states Juan Silvera, chief marketing officer for AgFirst. “As we undergo a once-in-a-generation technology and services transformation, our company needed a website that reflects the strategic direction AgFirst is taking while also retaining our historical mission of supporting agriculture and rural America.” 

While AgFirst’s mission has remained the same, supporting American farmers, growers, ranchers, and rural communities across the United States, the new site makes it easier for Associations to do business with AgFirst. Using best-in-class technology and innovation, the new site showcases two important dimensions: the beauty of rural America and its people, and the power of technology. 

The website’s new features and functionality relay important information to visitors in an easy-to-navigate and searchable format that is also optimized for mobile access. Highlights of the new site now feature:    

• A timeline marking important milestones in the Bank’s history.  
• New sections that showcase AgFirst’s community contributions and the organization’s support for young, beginning, and small (YBS) farmers.  
• An interactive map of the AgFirst District that spotlights the Bank’s affiliated Associations.    

Cyberwoven is honored to be recognized by leading industry partners like the Web Marketing Association for highlighting clients, like AgFirst, who are deeply committed to meeting the evolving needs of their communities. 

“AgFirst’s new website illustrates their forward-thinking approach while still paying homage to its historic past,” states David May, president of Cyberwoven. “We are honored to receive the Bank Standard of Excellence WebAward. This not only affirms the hard work and dedication our teams put into this project but also showcases the depth of talent that makes up Cyberwoven’s growing organization.” 

The Cyberwoven team is also the recent recipient of a Marketing and Communication Professionals Award, where the firm won the 2023 Gold dotCOMM Award in the Website and Finance category for the new AgFirst site.
