MUNICH, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 16, 1996--New York
City-based interactive agency K2 Design, Inc. won first place in the
CineChart Online Award 96' in ceremonies held here tonight. K2 won
the first-ever online related category in this major media and
marketing awards program for "The Audi Netrider," which was selected
by CineChart judges out of more than 80 international entries.
The international award comes one week after the K2-produced site
for IBM's "Deep Blue" vs. Kasparov web site pulled down silver
honors at the CASIE awards, sponsored by the American Association of
Advertising Agencies and the Association of National Advertisers in
the United States. As winner of the CineChart Online Awards, K2 will
also receive a 20,000 DM (deutchmark) prize.
The K2 designed "Audi Netrider" is a content rich consumer
oriented web site (http://www.audi.de) that allows users to virtually
experience driver Tamara Vidalis ride in an Audi A6 from Ingolstadt
to Munich. (Vidali is a professional Supertourenwagen driver
sponsored by Audi). The K2 Design production team used streaming
audio and video to enable visitors to the Netrider site to see from
the drivers' own windshield perspective and to hear the hum of the
autobahn. Global positioning technology included in the site allows
users to determine the location of the driver during the course of
the ride. Chat software gives visitors the chance to chat about and
with the Audi Netrider.
A team from K2's New York and German offices made The "Audi
Netrider" possible. The concept was created by Ken Grobe, Cecilia
Pagkalinawan and John Kayser. Grobe is a copywriter from K2 Design,
New York. Pagkalinawan is VP Creative Affairs, also from K2 Design,
New York, and John Kayser is Managing Director K2 Design Dusseldorf.
Matthew de Ganon, President of K2 Design says, "We are honored to
receive this award, and I personally am extremely proud of our people
and especially our German office. This award acknowledges K2s
international reach, as well as its ongoing creative excellence."

team and the consulting and tracking expertise of its Visitrac TSP
service. K2 has provided a variety of Internet-related services for
