Sales Graphics’ DesignStudio was award a 2008 Summit Creative Award today for its work on pcAmerica’s Restaurant Pro Express microsite. The Summit Creative Awards recognize and celebrate accomplishments of small and medium sized advertising agencies and other creative groups with annual billings of $30 million or less. Over the last fifteen years the competition has established itself as the premier arbiter of creative excellence for firms of this size.

The Horizon Interactive Awards, a leading international interactive media awards competition, announced the 2008 award winners to highlight this year’s “best of the best” in interactive media production.


Sales Graphics was recognized for excellence in Business to Business Marketing with three Gold Awards, two for CustomShow Presentations and one for a Flash Microsite.


The seventh annual, international competition saw just over 1,000 entries from 20 countries around the world. “The 2008 competition was the most competitive to date. The work in this year’s competition is at such a high level that the judges really had their work cut out for them,” said Mike Sauce, founder of the Horizon Interactive Awards. “All of the winning entries displayed a high level of sophistication, aesthetic creativity, technical excellence and clear purpose.”

All three of these projects were close collaborations between our clients, Sales Graphics’ DesignStudio and Sales Graphics’ Technology Team. We’re very proud to receive this honor and look forward to continued excellence in 2008!

The Legal Marketing Association New England Chapter last night announced the Sixth Annual Your Honor Awards, sponsored by The Wall Street Journal. These awards are given out to marketing firms and departments for exceptional work in the area of legal marketing. But the most exceptional work every year is the work that John Jardin does as the Master of Ceremonies. Working with Sales Graphics’ DesignStudio for the last three years, he has turned what might otherwise be a dull and predictable awards presentation into a fun and engaging “Oscars” for the legal marketing community. With a compelling presentation created from the funniest film clips of lawyers we could find and presented with CustomShow presentation software, John deserves an award of his own.

Sales Graphics won a Platinum MarCom Award for Newsweek’s 2008 General Presentation “The Connection Point” and a Gold Award for Smithsonian Magazine’s “Young Innovators” Event Video. These awards are in recognition of the great collaborative effort of our DesignStudio and our clients. Their vision combined with out designers’ skills resulted in these memorable works.
