Arlington, Va. (June 3, 2020)— NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association awarded seven member companies with Marketing eXcellence Awards on June 3 during the 2020 NTCA Marketing + Sales Virtual Conference.
The annual awards program honors excellence in member telco marketing, sales and public relations. Entries in seven categories—marketing campaign, PR campaign, website redesign, sales strategy, publications, branding project and broadcast advertising—were judged on innovative strategies, design, writing, creativity and other elements specific to each category. The award winners will be highlighted in the virtual “Solutions eXchange” exhibit hall throughout the conference, and a video depicting their work will be shared on the NTCA website, social media and digital newsletters. The winning entries reflect campaigns that took place in 2019.
“I would like to congratulate all of the 2019 Marketing eXcellence Award winners for their incredible work,” said NTCA Chief Executive Officer Shirley Bloomfield. “The marketing efforts of NTCA member companies play a critical role in educating consumers and raising awareness of communications technologies, services, initiatives and issues that impact the vitality of rural communities—all of which are extraordinarily important right now. Their work is truly impressive.”
Winning entries include campaigns that encourage the adoption of cloud-based services, public safety awareness messaging on the dangers of texting while driving and creative video and radio ads to name a few.
