Local Campaign Wins International Marketing Awards
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The “Your Story Made Here” campaign, developed for the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership, recently earned four honors in the international MarCom Awards competition.
The Your Story Made Here website videos received platinum recognition, the highest award. The campaign’s hardcover book and TV campaign were awarded gold. And the Your Story Made Here website, www.YourStoryMadeHere.com, earned honorable mention.
MarCom Awards is an international marketing and communications competition. MarCom statuettes grace the trophy cases of some of the top business and communication firms in the world. According to their website, the MarCom competition has become one of the largest of its kind in the world with about 6,000 entries per year.
The Partnership launched Your Story Made Here in 2012 as a part of its Vision 2020 initiative, which aims to develop, attract and retain talent in Northeast Indiana.
“Your Story Made Here was designed to attract and retain talent in our region by showcasing the impressive and diverse assets Northeast Indiana has to offer,” said Courtney Tritch, marketing director for the Partnership. “The fact that this campaign—and our region’s assets—are garnering international attention should give everyone living in Northeast Indiana a reason to be proud.”
“Northeast Indiana has much to offer and the Your Story Made Here campaign shows why the region is a great place to live,” said Matt Kelley, owner of One Lucky Guitar (OLG). “We are proud to be able to provide a true representation of the amazing things taking place in Northeast Indiana.”
The Your Story Made Here campaign was created with Columbia City, Indiana partner’s Red Tide Productions on video production.
