Davey and Microsoft Awards Presented to OnMessage for Highly Successful ePartnersMD Healthcare Marketing Campaign

OnMessage acknowledges the success of its ePartnersMD campaign, which generated strong sales results and received two prestigious awards for creativity, planning and execution.

Richardson, TX (PRWEB) July 16, 2007 -- OnMessage, a full-service marketing communications firm, today acknowledged the success of its ePartnersMD campaign, which generated strong sales results and received two prestigious awards for creativity, planning and execution. ePartnersMD, a healthcare specific marketing campaign, produced 70 new qualified sales opportunities and a pipeline of $8.4 million in revenue for ePartners, Inc. The campaign also received the 2006 Microsoft® Distinction in Marketing Award and a 2006 international Davey Award for Print and Collateral.

ePartnersMD is a suite of Microsoft-based IT and business solutions designed to empower community hospitals, large physician practices and other healthcare organizations. The solution, available from ePartners, was created exclusively for the Microsoft platform and focuses on healthcare-specific business issues and processes not previously addressed by other solution providers.

The award-winning vertical market campaign featured a cohesive, healthcare-specific design and targeted more than 15,000 contacts in 5,300 community hospitals across 35 markets in the U.S. Using creative 3D and 2D direct mail pieces including a spinning solution wheel, a pop-up map showing departmental benefits, and a real medical reflex hammer, the campaign drove prospects to a informational portal at www.epartnersmd.com.

"In today's competitive market place, companies are looking for marketing partners that can produce strong creative that delivers sales results," said Jim O'Gara, president of OnMessage. "As thrilling as the awards are, we know that results are the most important gauge of any marketing campaign, so we're more excited that ePartnersMD has returned such amazing results for ePartners."

The ePartnersMD campaign was one of three winners selected for the Microsoft Distinction in Marketing Award from among thousands of Microsoft business solutions partners in the U.S. and Canada. A panel of judges evaluated the candidates based on business impact, innovation and creativity, results and effectiveness. In addition to the award, Microsoft also highlighted the campaign as a best practice for vertical marketing campaigns.

Judged and overseen by the International Academy of Visual Arts, the Davey Awards are an international creative awards competition focused exclusively on honoring outstanding creative work achieved by big ideas, and not necessarily with stratospheric budgets.
