Merrick Towle Communications Wins Three CAMME Awards for 215 West
BELTSVILLE, Md., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- In a statement issued today, Harry L. Merrick IV, President and Chief Executive Officer of Merrick Towle Communications ("MTC"), announced that the Chicagoland Apartment Association ("CAA") has awarded the agency three prestigious Chicagoland Apartment Marketing and Management Excellence ("CAMME") awards for their work on 215 West Apartments, the brand new, 389 unit, 50-story apartment residence at 215 West Washington Street. The project is LEED Registered and seeks LEED Certification in early 2011.
Held on October 15th 2010 at the Chicago Marriot Downtown Magnificent Mile, the CAA ceremony recognized MTC and 215 West with awards for the best property advertising campaign, the best property marketing in electronic form (for 215WestApts.com and corresponding interactive touch-screen leasing kiosks) and for property marketing and advertising excellence for the entire market.
Merrick Towle Communication centered the campaign on 215 West's intention to seek LEED Certification and used such innovations as an interactive virtual building tour and a neighborhood map containing carbon footprint information based on transportation options.
"We would like to thank our colleagues, vendors and those at Jupiter Realty and Jupiter Communities for their hard work which is now recognized by the CAA," stated Harry Merrick. "I'm proud of all the work that went into this campaign, particularly the way the team was able to connect the great, environmentally friendly advantages of this residence with the needs and desires of the modern marketplace."
"I'm thrilled to see Merrick Towle's hard work recognized," said Victoria Pompizzi, Director of Marketing at Jupiter Communities, the management group responsible for 215 West. "We are so grateful for the creativity, energy, and commitment that the Merrick Towle team put into the marketing for 215 West."
215 West also won CAMME awards for the best three-bedroom floor plan and for leasing associate of the year.
The CAMME Awards are held annually to celebrate multi-family housing companies and professionals that have demonstrated excellence in the previous year. All entries are judged by fellow multi-family housing professionals that do not have an entry in the category and whose professional experience is commensurate with the category being judged.
