Wilkin Guge Marketing Wins Best of Show Award
at I.E. ADDY Competition
CLAREMONT, Calif., March 21, 2007 – In 2006, Wilkin Guge Marketing grew its clients’ business 28% more than the national average, and its creative strategies were rewarded earlier this month at the 2007 Inland Empire Ad Club’s 2007 ADDY Awards Gala. Wilkin Guge Marketing, the largest marketing firm in the Inland Empire, received 17 regional ADDY awards, including a Best of Show and Gold ADDYs for a conference opener video it created for Pomona-based Keystone Automotive Industries.
“Keystone’s Automotive’s Annual Conference Opener Video is a perfect example of how great creative supports the bottom line,” said Andrew Wilkin, managing partner and brand creative director. “Keystone’s main goal was to generate enthusiasm among its employees at its annual conference, generating momentum that would increase the sale of its automotive aftermarket parts. Mediocre creative can’t do that. We knew this video had to be exceptional.”
The sold-out awards ceremony was held on March 2 at the historic Mission Inn in Riverside. Throughout the evening, only five Best of Show ADDYs were presented in addition to over 200 Gold, Silver, Bronze and Student awards.
“At Wilkin Guge Marketing, we are dedicated to delivering results that speak for themselves,” said Gail Guge, managing partner and brand creative strategist. “We are extremely proud of our team for the great work they do every day.”
