John Mason International removals is celebrating this week, after receiving recognition for its marketing and communication expertise.
The leading international removals and shipping company, based in Liverpool, is known for its creative campaigns – and now its team boasts platinum and gold gongs in two categories of the Hermes Creative Awards.
Designed to highlight excellence among creative professionals involved in the concept, writing and design of traditional and emerging media, the Hermes Creative Awards are administered by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals.
“We are delighted to have received a Platinum award in the Consumer Engagement for our Australia Day 2017 ‘Where’s Mick?’ campaign and a Gold in the Integrated Web campaign category for Mission: Moving to Mars,” said Simon Hood, Sales and Marketing Director at John Mason International.
“There was also an ‘Honorable Mention’ award in the YouTube Video category for our Australia Day ‘Terry ‘Crocodile Dundee’ Chadwick Celebrates Straya Day In Style’ campaign.
“Former winners of these prestigious awards include AON, Deloitte, Expedia, IBM, Pepsi, Saatchi & Saatchi and Time Warner, so we are in excellent company. With more than 6,000 entries from companies across the globe, judges selected our campaigns because our talented team exceeded a high standard of excellence – serving as a benchmark for the industry.
“Both campaigns exceeded all expectations, and now we’re busy working on our next creative masterpiece. Watch this space…” added Simon.
