Cyrius News

Maree Montgomery, Jazz singer/entertainer extraordinaire and fashion event icon, launched her brand new Website to showcase her long career and vocal talents.  A dynamic and versatile entertainer, Maree has recorded 6 albums that are all now available on iTunes and Big Pond Music.  Cyrius is pleased to have been able to play a part in helping Maree leap into the digital age and give her talent a place to call home, where fans from all over the world, throughout her long career, can find her, tell all their friends on facebook about her and relive the magic of her live performances.

Maree is playing a regular monthly gig in Sydney – Laid-back Sunday Jazz, on the last Sunday of each month at the Royal Hotel, Leichhardt.  Cyrius wishes Maree all the very best as her career continues to grow, on- and off-line!

Cyrius congratulates the entire City of Ryde Council team for the launch of the new Council Website www.ryde.nsw.gov.au.  The site is a huge portal into everything about living in Ryde and everything that the Council does for the city.  It was designed by Spoonful Design and Cyrius was brought in to take care of the implementation and development of the functionality inside the Council's Content Management System (WCM), working closely with the diligent and hard-working Council Web team, who were charged with the massive job of implementing all of the content of the Website.

We are very proud to have played our role in such a significant project for the city.  Thank you to the City of Ryde for allowing us to be the consulting and Web development providers.

Cyrius Media Group was very proud to have helped the Rotary Club of Ryde receive the Norm Roach Memorial Shield for Best Website in the Rotary District of 9680 for 2010–11.

The district awards were held recently, with Ryde Rotary President, Allen Horrell collecting the award on behalf of the Club.  It was a big night for Ryde, as the Club scooped five district awards all up.  President Allen kept the secret of all the awards until the Club’s changeover dinner.

Ryde Rotary PR Director (and Cyrius Media Group’s Creative Director) Stefan Sojka was pleasantly surprised to be the subject of one of President Allen’s presentations of a Certificate and the Norm Roach Perpetual Trophy.

The Norm Roach Best Website Award is chosen on the following criteria:

• Overall design
• Presentation and content – does it inform members?
• What impression does it make on a prospective member?
• Visual appeal, legibility, ease of navigation
• Links to Rotary District and Rotary International Websites
• Does the Website have a Password protected area for members’ information

In his acceptance speech, Stefan passed the credit for winning the award on to Cyrius Media Group Managing Director Lata Sojka, whose drive, enthusiasm and attention to detail ensured the Website was produced to the right standard to do the Club justice and help raise the profile of Rotary through the Club’s activities.

Congratulations to the entire Club for supporting us to facilitate this project.  We graciously accept the award and pledge to continue to manage and maintain the Website to the best of our ability over the coming 2011–12 year.
