The agency and a number of our retail, credit union and manufacturing clients were honored at the recent American Marketing Association's Pinnacle Awards ceremony.

The Pinnacle awards are a bit unique in the category because judging is based not only on the attractiveness of the materials, but also on the strategy they were based on and the results they achieved.

In all, Redstone received seven awards including: A platinum for Nebraska Furniture Mart's recent Design Gallery DVD mailing; a gold for Nebraska Furniture Mart's 2009 Holiday Campaign; a Pinnacle for McCoy Fishing Line's packaging system redesign; a gold for Centris Federal Credit Union's Smart Car promotion; a Platinum for Centris' 75th Anniversary Campaign; a Pinnacle along with Eventive Marketing for the Designer Showhouse social media campaign; and a Pinnacle for the Scrooge U holiday greeting campaign.

The team at Redstone would like to thank all of our client partners for working with us to produce award-winning materials that consistently have a positive business impact!

Redstone and Centris Federal Credit Union were honored recently in the Service Industry Advertising Awards.

The campaign created for the credit union's 75th anniversary won a Gold in the competition which judges outstanding work by marketers of services. More than 900 organizations entered work for consideration this year. The national panel of judges graded each entry on the basis of creativity, consumer appeal and breakthrough content.

The winning entry from Redstone and Centris included TV spots featuring credit union members, a computer generated Smart Car and a new custom music track. 

Redstone was honored to be named the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce's Small Business of the Month for February. 

In a presentation ceremony during the organization's board meeting, Keith Bushardt, representing presenting sponsor Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska, praised the company's simple but powerful business description, "We help you sell stuff." Claudia Martin, representing the Redstone partners, thanked Keith and the Chamber in accepting the award and said the agency is "especially proud that, in helping our clients succeed and grow, we help Omaha grow as well."
