PASADENA MARKETING FIRM WINS GOLD AND MORE
IN HOUSTON ADDY AWARDS

John Manlove Marketing & Communications (JMMC) won 19 awards, including 6 golds, at the Houston Advertising Federation Addy Awards ceremony on February 17. The Pasadena firm won more ADDY awards then some of the top agencies and design firms in the Houston area.

         

"Peer recognition is one of the top honors any professional can receive," said John Manlove, CEO of JMMC and mayor of Pasadena. "These awards spotlight our firm's talent and expertise. They speak to our success in working not just with industry, but with our newer clientele in the real estate, consumer goods, and economic/financial sectors. I'm proud of our staff - their work on the Addy-winning projects shows that they don't just love their jobs, they're good at what they do, too."

Creative Director Eddy Henry agreed: "We have an amazing creative staff. I am pleased to see the quality of their work recognized by others in our field. And I'm excited for our clients whose projects earned awards. I hope they're proud they choose Manlove to work alongside them for creative solutions to their marketing and communications challenges."

"The web is an amazing tool," added JMMC's interactive director, Christian Weigand. "It can educate, challenge, entertain, and spark action. I appreciate the Houston Advertising Federation recognizing our efforts to make our clients more successful."

JMMC clients whose campaigns received Addy recognition said they look to the firm for its creativity, results-oriented approach and reliability.

"JMMC's creative staff was a great asset to the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership when we decided to produce a coffee-table book highlighting our organization," said Jim Reinhartsen, BAHEP president. "From start to finish, they guided us toward our goal of a successful marketing piece that would turn heads and get attention."

"Our talented creative team at John Manlove Marketing & Communications, lead by Creative Director Eddy Henry, has done an outstanding job of executing our human nature theme," said Susan Vreeland-Wendt, director of marketing for The Woodlands Development Company.   "The collateral materials that they have produced are very visually appealing, and provide all the information our prospects need in a very functional format.

The company has grown to prominence by delivering clear design and creative web solutions to heavy industry, which often requires marketing of products that are less than glamorous but essential to our economy.
