Burgess Wins Four Maine Public Relations Council Golden Arrow Awards

Portland, ME, October 25, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Burgess Advertising & Marketing has won four major awards at the 18th annual Maine Public Relation’s Council's Golden Arrow Awards ceremony, held at the Wydham Hotel in South Portland, Maine.

The Golden Arrow success follows hot on the heels of the Maine State Council of the Society for Human Resources Management recognizing Burgess Advertising & Marketing as one of the top three places to work in the small business category at the 2009 Best Places to Work in Maine banquet in Lewiston, Maine. There were 31 finalists.

The Golden Arrows provide a forum for exhibiting exemplary work from Maine’s public relations practitioners, promote public recognition of the high quality of communications produced in Maine, and gain corporate and client recognition for top quality PR efforts.

This year the Public Relations Council of Alabama’s Mobile chapter judged the awards.

Gold and Silver awards are presented in a variety of categories, ranging from materials design to comprehensive communications campaigns.

Burgess, now in its 23rd year of providing full marketing business in Portland, Maine, won:

· A Gold Award in the Audio Visual category for Mercy Hospital for its “New England Eating Disorders Cinema PSA”.
· A Gold Award in the Communications Campaign category for MaineHousing for its “Gift of Green” Campaign.
· A Gold Award in the Annual Reports category for Efficiency Maine.
· A Silver Award in the Communications Campaign for The Portland International Jetport for its “Maine's Funniest Frequent Flyer” campaign.

Judy Katzel, President of Burgess Advertising & Marketing, said providing a safe, secure and enjoyable place to work for a very talented and versatile staff is the best path to providing great creative work.

“I believe that wining awards for producing on-target, successful public relations and marketing campaigns can be directly tied to having happy employees who love what they do,” she said.
