If you know jhP, you know we love excuses to celebrate. So AAF-Topeka’s 2011 ADDY Awards Gala on Feb. 5 was just up our alley. Not only was it a great chance for our partners to have a fun time with the team and with other local industry professionals, we also had plenty of reason to party! Once again, jhP made a strong showing, bringing home four Gold and nine Silver ADDYs. A big pat on the back goes out to our winning client partners – and a huge thank you to all the AAF-Topeka members who worked hard to put on a wonderful evening!

Results matter. That’s what makes the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Bronze Quill Awards special. The Bronze Quill is designed to honor projects and campaigns that show measured results. While other awards are primarily judged on the somewhat subjective “creativity” of a piece, the Bronze Quill Awards consider creativity and then dig deeper – evaluating how the piece meets and exceeds the intended goals and objectives. This makes winning a Bronze Quill Award for our client partners especially gratifying. We get to prove the campaign worked for our client.

Wednesday, five jhP client projects were selected to receive the Bronze Quill Award of Excellence. Selected were the Penwell-Gabel Funeral Home and Crematory 2009 Coffeyville Calendar, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas “I Work for You” newspaper campaign, jhP “Creative Crunch Time” tradeshow booth, se2 ACLI tradeshow campaign and the Penwell-Gabel Funeral Homes, Crematory & Cemetery “Green” PR campaign.

jhP is very lucky to work with a fantastic group of client partners who entrust us to champion their brands, collaborate with them on amazing creative and work with them to build their business and increase their ROI. It’s nice to be recognized, but the real prize is doing work you love for people you truly respect and admire.

Our own Tracey Stratton was awarded the “Woman Making Headlines” Award at the March 30 Topeka Association of Women in Communications 2010 Headliner Awards Luncheon. Tracey was nominated for her achievements in 2009. Her breakout year included a promotion to Director of Public Relations and obtaining significant amounts of earned media coverage for jhP clients.

Tracey works diligently with jhP clients to craft messages and promote services, programs and events for their public relations initiatives. Her level of professionalism and creativity have enhanced jhP’s credibility with local media and paved the way for even greater media responsiveness.

Congratulations, Tracey! We appreciate your hard work and are proud to have you as a partner!

The jhP team is privileged to work with a group of diverse, exceptional client partners who continue to challenge us with developing creative advertising and marketing solutions.

The team earned six Gold ADDY awards and 11 Silver ADDY awards. We also received Best of Show – Campaign for the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Multi-Media campaign that involved television, radio, magazine and newspaper ads.
