Gruskin Group™ Wins ‘Best Out-of-Home Award’ at NJ Ad Club’s 49th Annual Jersey Awards, Earns 17 Awards
Springfield, NJ (PRWEB) August 08, 2017 -- Gruskin Group™, an architecture firm offering integrated design, was recently honored by the NJ Ad Club, earning a total of 17 awards, including the ‘Best Out-of-Home Award’ for its work for the Lake George Council on the Arts and six first-place awards, at the 49th Annual Jersey Awards competition. There were more than 500 entries for this year’s awards competition, which celebrates excellence in advertising. Gruskin Group took home awards at this year’s competition in such categories as banner, consumer logos, web applications and video non-broadcast -- more than most dedicated advertising or graphic design agencies did.
“If you’re looking for a great creative agency, you may want to consider an architecture firm,” noted Kenneth A. Gruskin, AIA, founder and principal of Gruskin Group. “It’s an anomaly for an architecture firm to compete and win against full-time advertising and graphic design firms for awards of this nature.
“Since our founding as an architecture firm, Gruskin Group has expanded its services along the lines of integrated design and set new standards for disciplines like graphic design, interactive media and industrial design as part of our approach to creating unique, engaging and experiential solutions,” Gruskin added. “We pride ourselves on creating high-impact, memorable user experiences whose design starts with bold, fresh ideas that may challenge conformity but always maintains a sense of realism, purpose, and scalability.”
Specifically, in addition to the ‘Best of Award,’ Gruskin Group received the following awards at this year’s ceremony, which was held on June 7, 2016, at The Grove in Cedar Grove, NJ:
