In the wake of last year’s success, we are trying to pick the best of the best. In 2007, we submitted two projects – Logo Design and Individual Promotional Product. Both submissions received Crystals.

  • Logo Design – We entered our redesign of St. Pius X High School’s panther logo. The original logo was outdated and plain. The new logo better reflected the school’s personality and received student buy-in before roll-out
  • Individual Promotional Product – Our pen-turned-USB-drive project for AMA’s M.planet Conference was a big hit. The USB drive was pre-loaded with all conference materials and fit inside the cap of the pen. Marketers received the pen in a silver-and-black alloy case when they arrived at the conference.

Each entry must have a detailed work plan that outlines the challenges, strategies/tactics and results of the project. Entries are judged on their marketing effectiveness. As AMA says, “It’s not a beauty contest.”

Winners and contestants will be celebrated at the InterContinental Houston Hotel, Thursday, May 22, 2008 from 6p.m. – 9:30p.m.
