DALLAS, May 25, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Accolades continue for SuperMedia's (NASDAQ:SPMD) SuperGuarantee(R) advertising campaign with "Best of Show" and "Most Effective Integrated Marketing Campaign" awards from the annual Excellence in Interactive Marketing Awards (EIMA) show, recently held in Dallas. The Dallas Fort Worth Interactive Marketing Association bestowed these honors to SuperMedia and TM Advertising for most effective interactive marketing of 2009.
The awards represent the marketer displaying the best ability to deliver a unified message across multiple media, while effectively leveraging the unique aspects of each medium. The SuperGuarantee message was effectively communicated through television, radio, out-of-home and various digital media, including digital display advertising, rich media, e-mails and websites. The "Best of Show" award for the SuperGuarantee campaign honored the top scoring entry among all award categories.
"When we work with local businesses to get positive results, we are their allies, advisors, advocates and partners," said Sandra Crawford Williamson, SuperMedia CMO. "Our relationship with TM Advertising is just that -- our partnership has netted great results for our business."
SuperGuarantee is a national consumer guarantee program designed to lower the risk of hiring contractors, plumbers, auto body repair shops and thousands of other qualified service-based businesses. If a consumer is not satisfied with the service provided by a participating SuperGuarantee business, SuperMedia will work to resolve any issues or, if unable to resolve the issue, SuperMedia will reimburse the consumer up to $500 of the cost of labor for the service.*
"We're honored to be recognized with these prestigious interactive marketing awards," said Bill Oakley, managing director/chief creative officer at TM Advertising. "SuperMedia's SuperGuarantee is something special, and we're thrilled to be part of the tremendous momentum."
In addition to the EIMA awards, SuperMedia's SuperGuarantee program has been recognized with a 2010 Industry Excellence Award by the Yellow Pages Association TM (YPA) for innovation, execution and results and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) with the 2010 Creative Business Solutions Award for the company's work in differentiating its direct mail product - SuperpagesDirect(R) - with a service guarantee.
