Apex-Cary, N.C - Lisa Gullette, an Apex resident, was honored with a gold award for Web design and an honorable mention award for print design and web development in the MarCom Awards Competition.
MarCom Awards announced winners in November for the 2012 international awards competition that recognizes outstanding creative achievement by marketing and communication professionals; Ms. Gullette received the notable statuette for the award earlier this week. There were over 6,000 entries from throughout the United States, Canada and several other countries in the 2012 competition.
CreatiVisibility, a Cary-Apex area design firm is a winner in the creative competition for Ms. Gullette’s creative website home page design for Multi-modal Congestion Plan project website. The project is in conjunction with CDM Smith, Inc. for the Fayetteville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (FAMPO) and its county partners in the project. MarCom entries come from corporate marketing and communication departments, advertising agencies, public relations and design firms, and freelancers. The competition has grown to perhaps the largest of its kind in the world. Winners represent a variety of companies that range in size from individual communicators to media conglomerates and Fortune 500 companies. The competition is so well respected in the industry that national public relations organizations, ad clubs, and local business communicator chapters are entrants.
“Lisa and CreatiVisibility have been a HUGE asset to our project,” comments Will Letchworth, client services manager for CDM Smith, Inc. “The website and social media outreach that they have developed has been an integral part of our public involvement and information process and has provided us with an excellent forum for distributing information about this critical land use and transportation plan and receiving feedback from the public, local officials, and stakeholders in our project area. We have received multiple comments on the quality of the site and the ease with which interested parties can interact with us and find information.” Visit the award-winning design at www.congestionplan.com.
