Bump Networks Redesigns Site for Golden Globe Awards

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

On Sunday, Bump Networks completed the redesign and launch of GoldenGlobes.org, the official site of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) and the Golden Globe Awards. The new site received over a million visitors within the first two days, and an additional 40% traffic boost following the posting of the nominees for the 67th Golden Globe Awards. This high volume of hits and the launch of the new GoldenGlobes.org did not cause any interruptions to the site’s service.

The launch marks the second collaboration between Bump Networks and the HFPA. Bump Networks created the previous version of GoldenGlobes.org in 2005, prompting the HFPA to approach them to update the site for the 67th Golden Globe Awards.

Held annually since 1944, the Golden Globe Awards recognize the year’s top achievements in film and television. Broadcast in over 150 countries and attended by Hollywood’s elite, it represents one of the largest entertainment industry events of the year with guests such as Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg and more.
