Ascend Integrated Media Recognized in Hermes International Creative Awards Competition

5/17/2012 - Custom content agency Ascend Integrated Media LLC has been awarded three Platinum and one Gold awards

in the 2012 Hermes Creative Awards Competition. The Hermes Creative Awards is an international competition media and

communications agencies as well as marketers. It is sponsored by The Association of Marketing & Communications

Professionals.

This year’s Hermes Creative Awards was one of the toughest competitions on record with more than 4,700 entries from

across the U.S. as well as from numerous foreign countries. Ascend entered work created for four of its clients and

received award recognition for all four.

According to Ascend’s CEO, Cam Bishop, “We were thrilled to have won for even one of our clients’ entries, much

less winning for all four. If I played pro baseball, I think this is what it would feel like to hit that grand slam

and drive in four runs. Even better, this tremendous recognition from AMCP is a great way to help us celebrate our

30th anniversary year this year.”

Rhonda Wickham, Ascend’s vice president of content said, “The four Hermes Creative Awards bring Ascend Integrated

Media’s total awards won from nearly a dozen different national and international creative competitions to 36 in

just the last two years. Equally important, Ascend has won for client work in a vast array of industries. The work

represents the team’s creative efforts in writing, graphic design, digital media, mobile media and multimedia.”

following clients:
