New York, NY, July 21, 2005 --(PR.com)-- Gigante Vaz Partners was honored with one silver award at this year’s B-to-B ACE Awards ceremony sponsored by Hatteras Press, QUARK, B-to-B Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal. The ceremony was held on July 19th in New York City.
                      
In its 40th year, the annual ACE Awards celebrate creative excellence in business-to-business marketing communications.

Gigante Vaz Partners received the silver award for the “I Get Ideas” television campaign they created for Ricoh Corporation. The campaign captured the attention and imagination of prospects by featuring Louis Armstrong’s Jazz Standard, “I Get Ideas” as background for scenes that depict workers carrying out typical office tasks using Ricoh products to move their ideas forward. The commercials acknowledge the role of Ricoh office solutions in the very human tasks of everyday people as they turn ideas into reality. This human connection, combined with the strong emotional appeal of Armstrong’s music, helped elevate Ricoh and separate it from the other companies in the office imaging sector. The television campaign was honored in Broadcast, Television Campaign category.

Commenting on the agency’s award, Gigante Vaz Partners co-Founder Paul Gigante said, “It is extremely rewarding to be recognized for our creativity, strategic marketing approach and execution in such a competitive field. With the campaign, we remained committed to our strategy of appealing to and communicating directly with the prospects. By providing the prospects with subtle message, we are able to reinforce the positive brand experience associated with Ricoh."
