The KR website which combines the best of aesthetics, functionality and user experience to build a powerful online brand for KR, was chosen for the Bronze Award for its numerous novel features e.g. the KR website is totally dynamic and driven by Content Management System and can therefore be easily managed from backend. It also provides exhaustive information on the profiles, brands, businesses, activities, products and services of the Group and serves various target audiences such as prospective business partners, job seekers, employees, and media among others.
