Princeton, New Jersey - March 10, 2000 - For renowned drummer Will Calhoun, his Web presence needed to be an extension of his art. His unique blend of culturally diverse, improvisational and groundbreaking style is what he's known for. It's what his fans expect to see when they visit his site.
Will Calhoun first turned to Princeton Internet Group, Inc. (PInG) in 1995, making him one of the first musical artists to enter cyberspace. Princeton Internet Group, one of the region's Web pioneers, designed Will's original site and have continued to enhance the site with dynamic graphics and advanced features since then. Recently, PInG was awarded a prestigious Astra Award for the site from the New Jersey Communications, Advertising, & Marketing Association (NJCAMA).
In addition to creating the cutting-edge design, the professionals at PInG led the interactive strategy development effort. http://www.willcalhoun.com/ features extensive information about the Grammy Award-winning artist, his projects and recordings, and his performance schedule. Additionally, the site enables the purchase of select CDs online, making the site a valuable one-stop shop for long-time fans and people who have recently discovered Will Calhoun. The fact that over half of the many visits to the site come from outside the U.S. is a testament to Will's worldwide appeal, a successful on-line promotion campaign, and a reminder that the Web is truly a global medium.
"Will was looking for an innovative look that complements his personal and musical style. The project was a great opportunity for the PInG team, and demonstrates our commitment to developing solutions that engage, inform and entertain an internetworked audience. We're thrilled to be given this award as recognition for the work we did," stated PInG principal Rob Freda.
