Chartwell Agency Recognized by Web Excellence Awards for Website Design and Video Work

October 1, 2026

Chartwell Agency, an award-winning marketing firm based in northern Illinois, has received three Web Excellence Awards (WE-Awards) for work in website design and video creation. The global awards program recognized Chartwell for the Rock Valley Credit Union website, a brand storytelling video for Bank of Lake Mills, and a campaign video for Barbara Olson Center of Hope.

For Rock Valley Credit Union, CWA Credit Union & Financial Marketing, a division of Chartwell Agency, redesigned the website with a mobile-first approach, simpler navigation, improved accessibility, and clear paths to key financial services. The modern, flexible site reflects the credit union’s approachable style of service and makes it easier for members to find what they need.

Bank of Lake Mills has grown alongside the community it serves for generations. CWA Credit Union & Financial Marketing partnered with the bank on a brand storytelling video that follows customers through life’s milestones. The video highlights the personalized service, local relationships, and trusted guidance that have defined the bank throughout its history.

For Barbara Olson Center of Hope, the most convincing way to show donors the impact of its mission was to let the people closest to it tell the story. Chartwell’s CWA Nonprofit Marketing division built a campaign video around candid interviews with participants, families, staff, and board members. The finished video showed the impact the Center has had on hundreds of lives, illustrating what donor support makes possible.

The Web Excellence Awards is an international program that recognizes creativity, innovation and technical quality in websites, digital marketing, video and other digital projects. Its mission is to raise the standard for creative, technical and professional work and to honor the people behind it.
