BaM Takes Creative Media Awards' Best In Show
Sept 28, 2006
Staff Report
IN A REAL SHOCKER, A tiny business-to-business media campaign by Bradley and Montgomery took Best in Show Wednesday night during MEDIA magazine's 2006 Creative Media Awards in New York. The $65,000 campaign for client Chase Commercial Banking, used eye-catching, three-foot tall, blue-and-white marketers to transform electric power outlets in the Indianapolis International Airport into advertising for Chase's brand. The campaign effectively targeted Chase's audience of business decision-makers, creating awareness for electricity-hungry, laptop-toting business travelers. The Bradley and Montgomery effort also won the CMA for the business-to-business category.
The awards show also shocked attendees for another reason: It failed to award a winner in the email category. While the judges deemed the three finalists in that category to have produced finalist-quality campaigns, none were judged exemplary enough to qualify as a CMA winner.
