CraneMorley Inc. Takes Top International Marketing Effectiveness Award - 2006 Summit MEA

Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) November 11, 2006 -- CraneMorley Inc. is a winner in the 2006 Summit Marketing Effectiveness Awards (MEA) competition for their work with American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

"Connecting the Generations" was a project about changing attitudes and beliefs, which aligns perfectly with the criteria for this award," commented CraneMorley President, Thomas Pratt.

The International Summit MEA is founded on the belief that the goal of marketing communications is to successfully change or influence the target audience's knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs. During the blind judging, event judges analyzed entries to determine if they significantly achieved this goal. Fewer than 13% received winning recognition. This year's panel of judges included: • Jay Stuck, President - Brand Guy Inc. – United States • Kathleen C. McCulloch PhD, Post-doctoral research scientist – University of Florida-Psychology Department – United States • Libby Lucas, Creative Director - Adculture Group, Inc. – Canada • Saurabh Dasgupta, Creative Team Head - Innocean Worldwide – India • Rick Penn-Kraus, Design Director-Hill & Knowlton, Inc. – United States • David Ross, Group Copy Supervisor-Quantum Advertising – United States.

"Winning a Summit MEA is a significant accomplishment. The combination of our excellent judges and the tough judging criteria ensures that only deserving entries receive Summit MEA recognition," said Jocelyn Luciano, Executive Director for the Summit Awards."
