How embarassing! I haven't been here to be in touch with all my loyal floggers for ages, and for that I do apologize. An avid reader and fan called me out on it today...so it is definitely time for a quick post just to let you know some things that are going on. Life sure is busy here at aha creative.
It's May and the view of Sandusky Bay and Cedar Point just gets better every sunny day. Okay, maybe it's a little distracting at times to watch a sailboat cruise past now and again, but, hey, I find it incredibly relaxing and inspirational. That's my story and I'm sticking with it. Maybe you'll want to come and have a coffee with me and check it out for yourself. Cedar Point opens tomorrow and so I know traffic is going to increase exponentially, but I sure don't mind. There's something vibrant and fun about summer in vacationland.
To let you know that I haven't just been sitting at my desk enjoying the view, I thought I'd share a little news about aha creative. I recently received 2 gold awards in the 2009 Hermes Creative Awards, sponsored by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (www.amcpros.com). Aha Creative received a Gold Award for the identity rebranding and logo design for the Ottawa County Transportation Agency (OCTA). In addition, Aha Creative also received a Gold Award for identity, logo and web design for its pro bono work for the Port Clinton Arts Council (www.portclintonarts.org). This international awards competition is for creative professionals involved in the concept, writing and design of traditional and emerging media. AMCP judges are industry professionals who look for companies and individuals whose talent exceeds a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the industry. Winners were selected from 142 categories in seven forms of media and communication efforts- advertising, publications, marketing/branding, integrated marketing, public relations/communications, electronic media and pro bono.
I couldn't be more proud of these awards and, especially, more proud of OCTA for the incredibly hard work they continue put forth in their rebranding and identity effort. They are all so committed to this project and making sure everything is done the best it can, within budget, spread over time and by including employee and user feedback. Kudos and congratulations to OCTA and the Port Clinton Arts Council!
