HOLIDAY ZOOLIGHTS ADVERTISING SHINES BRIGHTLY AT UTAH TOURISM AWARDS
Posted On Friday, May 22, 2009
Hogle Zoo has won 12 Utah Tourism Advertising &
Marketing awards in the past three years, two of which have been the award for Best in Show. This year, Hogle Zoo won
Best TV Ad (ZooLights!) and Best Radio Spot (Cow Zoo) in the
category of Annual Budgets under $250,000. The third and most prestigious Best of Show award was selected from all
of this year's entrants, regardless of budget. Currently, Hogle Zoo has taken
home more Utah Tourism Advertising & Marketing awards since 2006 than any
other Utah
organization or attraction.
Brad Parkin, Hogle Zoo Associate Director of Marketing Services
was there to accept the award in front of other Utah marketing peers. "We take great
pride in inspiring cutting edge advertising that is fun, informative and that
cuts through the clutter," said Parkin. "To be recognized
by the State Office of Tourism and the Utah Tourism Industry Coalition for
these efforts is very gratifying; After all, we are Utah's Hogle Zoo." Recognition should also be given to Hogle Zoo's marketing staff and the
creative team at Richter7 Ad Agency who created the winning entries.
