Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) May 3, 2007 -- Developers of Amberly, a master-planned community in Cary, N.C., received two Major Achievements in Marketing Excellence (MAME) Awards from the Home Builders Association (HBA) of Raleigh-Wake County.

The community was recognized with two MAME Gold Awards for Best Website for a Master-Planned Community and for Best Special Project, Promotion or Event. Amberly, owned by L.M. Sandler & Sons Inc. and developed by GS Carolina, was the area's top selling new community in 2006.

"We're thrilled to be recognized by the Home Builders Association for our efforts," said Bob Jones, general manager for Amberly and GS Carolina's Raleigh division. "The entire Amberly team has consistently provided incredible support to help make Amberly a premier Triangle-area community."

The website, www.Amberly.com, was developed and maintained by Liquid Advertising of Boston, with support from Launch Marketing of Raleigh and New Bern, N.C. GS Carolina's Best Special Project award recognized its promotional piece for The Peninsula at Amberly, a custom home neighborhood within the community. The promotion, a themed gift basket given to Wake County and Chatham County Realtors, was designed by Launch Marketing and High Tide Creative of New Bern and Raleigh.

The MAME Awards, presented by the Triangle Sales and Marketing Council (TSMC) of the North Carolina Home Builders Association (NCHBA), is the Triangle's largest and most prestigious marketing awards competition in the building and real estate industries.
