echo awardBig congrats (or in Kiwispeak “yeah, not bad, mate”) to two NZ agencies who won trophies at the 2009 International Echo Awards, hosted by Jay Leno in San Diego this week. The Echos, run by the US Direct Marketing Association, are like the global version of NZ Marketing Association’s RSVP Awards.

yellow treehouseAim Proxmity took home a gold in the Communications/Utilities category for the Yellow Treehouse campaign and won the very special Henry Hoke Award  for “the campaign with the most courageous solution to a difficult sales marketing problem”. The agency also won silver for the Warehouse ‘Get in on the secret – part 2’ campaign in the retail and direct sales category.
