The Davey Awards celebrate the remarkable artistry of small agencies, applauding their “Creative Davids” who have crafted unique projects for companies with smaller budgets. Led by The Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA) – a distinguished panel comprised of leading specialists in traditional and digital media from across the globe – these awards offer an opportunity to bring innovative achievements into focus on both local and international stages.
The Award: Gold for Hospitality – Restaurant
The Client: Loro Restaurant – Austin, Texas
Loro creates the most mouth-watering Asian smokehouse cuisine you’ve ever tasted. You wouldn’t expect anything less from the award-winning chefs Aaron Franklin, of Franklin Barbeque and Tyson Cole, of Uchi, who merged to produce Loro in 2018, now working toward their 6th location across Texas.
The Project
The challenge in building a new website for Loro was: How do you produce a user experience worthy of the physical environment and wildly creative brand that Loro is? And how do you create a website that ignites a users senses to a point where they can almost taste and smell it?
Leveraging our team’s deep expertise in website development along with our great partners Unfettered (strategy) and The Graphic Standard (design), we have provided Hai Hospitality (owner of Loro) with a cutting-edge online presence that accurately reflects the brand’s prestigious reputation as one of the premier destinations for top-quality Asian Smokehouse cuisine.

“We’re thrilled to receive a gold Davey Award for this project. As they say, it takes a village. A lot of smart people on our team, and from our great partners came together to pull this off,” stated Grant Chambers, Founder and CEO of Workhorse.
