Drumroll’s Creative Excellence Recognized With 11 Communicator Awards
AUSTIN, Texas — June 1, 2009 — The 15th Annual Communicator Awards, conducted by the International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA), has honored Drumroll with 11 prestigious awards – six Awards of Excellence and five Awards of Distinction, adding to Drumroll's growing collection of accolades.
Honoring the best creative in communication fields, including print, interactive, video, audio, campaigns and marketing, the Communicator Awards are judged and evaluated by an invitation-only body of leading media professionals.
The Award of Excellence, Communicator's highest honor, is awarded to entries whose ability to communicate distinguishes them among the best in the field. The Award of Distinction is presented for projects that exceed industry standards in quality and achievement.
Ten out of the 11 awards recognize Drumroll's interactive achievements for work with growing clients. Drumroll's Web site work for Macerich, one of the nation's largest retail developers, earned seven awards in multiple categories for the GIVE The Gift Card (www.givethegiftcard.com) and Teen Life of Style (www.teenlifeofstyle.com) programs. Additional awards included Drumroll's innovative and strategic work for Simple Power (www.simplepower.net), a unique alternative electricity provider, and Drumroll's own Picture Perfect Holiday experience (pictureperfect.drumroll.com). Drumroll's print campaign for Penton Media's Marketing Connections (MCONN) conference also earned the agency recognition in the print advertisement category.
"The Communicator Awards represent a wonderful merit of creative excellence and reinforcement of our company's vision and innovative culture," said Chris Mollo, Drumroll cofounder. "It's always humbling to be recognized."
"Our focus has always been to provide our clients with innovative strategies and brand experiences that exceed their goals and create new opportunities to engage their audiences. When those successful efforts also result in acknowledgement and respect from some of the industry's best, it makes the recognition even sweeter," said Kirk Drummond, Drumroll cofounder.
