PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwire - June 29, 2010) - Trainer Communications, a full-service public relations, integrated marketing and social media agency servicing the enterprise and consumer technology sectors, today announced that the San Francisco Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA-SF) has honored the agency with the Northern California Silver Anvil Award for "Best Integrated Consumer Product or Service Campaign."
Trainer's winning Zazzle campaign, comprised of strategic top-tier business publication and holiday gift guide placements, and national consumer broadcast segments, resulted in billions of impressions worldwide. The Silver Anvil awards emcee Tom Vacar, an award-winning journalist for Channel 2 Fox News, made note that Trainer had earned the distinction of being the only company in the past 25 years to receive a perfect score by the judges. Trainer CEO Susan Thomas, along with several Trainer team members, attended the gala event held in San Francisco, Calif. on the evening of June 17, 2010.
Trainer, a previous Silver Anvil award winner, was selected based on PRSA's comprehensive evaluation system that stringently assesses overall campaign objectives, strategy, tactics, execution and results. The core elements of the Zazzle campaign included:
- Expert-driven strategies on news releases and key media targets
- Tactical use of state-of-the-art PR management tools
- Award-winning Metrics Matter™ best practice methodologies
"More than just our PR agency, Trainer Communications is a strategic partner whom we collaborate with on a regular basis to help build our business. Trainer consistently executes creative campaigns, delivers stellar results based on its Metrics Matter approach, and almost always exceeds expectations. We offer our congratulations on Trainer's perfect-score award win and look forward to teaming with Trainer on additional award-winning work in the years to come," said Michael Karns, marketing director for Zazzle.
In addition to this PRSA Silver Anvil, Trainer is being honored this week at a gala event hosted by the Bulldog Awards in New York City for "Agency of the Year." Trainer will also receive the 2010 Bulldog Award for "Best Campaign Under $100,000," saluting Trainer's PR innovation for its highly successful "Data Robotics Goes Pro" campaign. These three awards add to a growing list of national acclaim for Trainer which, among other accolades, has also won the 2008 Bulldog Award for "PR Innovation of the Year" for its Metrics Matter methodology, the 2009 Sabre Award for "Best Agency to Work For," and the 2009 MarCom Gold Award for "Excellence in Publicity Campaign."
"While these awards validate our PR and marketing prowess, what's really important is the value our campaigns create for our clients to help drive their business. We are honored to represent clients like Zazzle that encourage us to perform at elite levels all of the time," said Susan Thomas, CEO, Trainer Communications. "While we strive for perfection in all that we do, we are truly humbled to receive the first-ever perfect score in the 25-year history of this prestigious award."
