Douglas Marketing Group’s award-winning handbook for St. Clair College

A local advertising agency has been recognized with six international awards from two award shows.

Windsor’s Douglas Marketing Group received the awards — from Summit Awards and Hermes Awards — for their work on COVID-19 response communications and printed materials in both Canada and the United States.

President Kay Douglas says she’s proud of the success they’ve been able to achieve for their clients.

“We are honoured to be recognized by our industry leaders for our work,” says Douglas. “Our international region is rich with talent that shines.”

The agency won three Summit Creative Awards, one award for their Coronavirus Response Playbook for Wayne County Airport Authority, another award for their Stay at Home Website which offers families stay at home activities, mental health and financial resources during the pandemic, and a third award for their work on St. Clair College’s 2020-2021 Admissions Handbook.

“With vetted judges, tough judging criteria, two-phase blind judging processes, and strict bylaws limiting winners, only deserving entries receive recognition,” says Jocelyn Luciano, Managing Director for the Summit Creative Awards.

Douglas Marketing Group also won three Hermes Awards, one award for St. Clair College’s 2020-2021 Admissions Handbook, one award for work on St. Clair College’s digital recruitment campaign for the Zekelman School of Business, and one award for work on Michigan’s Children’s Foundation annual report.

St. Clair College President Patti France congratulated the agency on their win.

“In the two years DMG has been our agency of record, St. Clair College’s brand recognition has risen to new heights,” says France. “Our 2020-2021 Admissions Handbook and its unique cover design stood out among the sea of other books in the college system and the Zekelman School of Business and Information Technology has received the recognition it deserves as one of our leading programs.”

Douglas Marketing Group was chosen from among 6,500 entries in the Hermes Creative Awards 2020 competition. The agency says they competed against entries from corporate marketing and communication departments, advertising agencies, PR firms, design shops, production companies, and freelancers.
