Baxa Corporation Wins Two AMA Awards

June 05, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Englewood, Colo. – Baxa Corporation received a Gold Award for its Direct Mail Campaign submission at the annual American Marketing Associations’s PEAK Awards Gala held June 1st at the Denver Zoo. The award recognized the success of the company’s Real Pharmacy campaign, developed to generate customer testimonials on Baxa products. Over the years, the creative team had struggled with how to get customers to talk about their experiences with Baxa products and services. The idea of a fun photo contest about a day in the life of a Real Pharmacy exceeded all expectations for quality and quantity of responses.

Also during the Gala, Marian Robinson, VP of Marketing for Baxa Corporation was recognized as Annual Marketer of the Year (AMY) for exemplifying outstanding marketing leadership and accomplishment. Presenter Todd Bacon of Colorado Direct Mail noted, “With her planning background, this year’s recipient brought a more formal approach to marketing planning and budgeting. These formal procedures have helped form the core of a successful marketing team.” Accepting the award, Robinson credited her team for making it possible to do great work.
