Portland Office Energized by Awards

March 4th, 2010

Our Portland office has recently received kudos for some of its top projects. The Portland team received a runner-up mention in the American Marketing Association Oregon Chapter’s MAX (Marketing Award of Excellence) awards for its “Be An ENERGY STAR” campaign. And the Association of Energy Services Professionals awarded the team an Energy Award/Honorable Mention in the Marketing Communications Category for its NW ENERGY STAR Homes Program, on behalf of client Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA).

This comes on the heels of the Portland office’s 2009 victory (in partnership with Fluid Market Strategies), helping the NEEA win a 2009 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Awards for Program Delivery are given to a variety of organizations to recognize their efforts to improve energy efficiency and reduce pollution. Award winners are selected from more than 12,000 organizations that participate in the ENERGY STAR program.

Way to go, Portland!
