Local Marketing Communications Firm Honored with Prestigious National Award
Akron, Ohio (PRWEB) October 23, 2008 -- Akron-based hfa (Hitchcock Fleming & Associates Inc.), along with McCann Erickson New York, MPG, Millward Brown, Pieros Research Consultancy and Sensory Logic, was honored with a silver ARF David Ogilvy Award for its work on The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s Get there® campaign.
The goal of the distinctive campaign, which launched in 2007, was to define a unique position, convey tire industry leadership and engage consumers. This was accomplished through emphasizing Goodyear’s relevant technologies which help consumers get to their destinations. After extensive research by Millward Brown and other agencies, hfa and McCann Erickson New York created marketing elements focusing heavily on the well-recognized Goodyear blimp.
"The Ogilvy Awards’ primary goal is to improve the advertising industry so that it provides for more effective marketing communications," said Keith Busch, hfa’s vice president of client services and business development. "Working with Goodyear and its other agencies that hold themselves to these effective marketing communications standards is a reward every day. Being a part of this Ogilvy Award further accents that reward."
