32 Flavors & Then Some - Hermes Awards 2008
February 18, 2008 by davidebowman · 1 Comment
The Greater Dayton Advertising Association held their annual Hermes awards a little over a week ago. I am proud to say that Hafenbrack Marketing cleaned up - taking home a total of 32 Awards including Best of Show. Not too shabby. I mention this because: a.) I think the world of the amazing people at Hafenbrack and b.) many of my former Clients were among the winners. I worked really hard during my tenure at Hafenbrack. While I am not a big “awards guy,” I do feel proud of what I was able to accomplish - with a lot of help from the HMC team. It is nice to see that hard work recognized by industry peers. Among my former Clients who came up big were CareSource, Brady Ware, Ali Industries, and gold medal winner F&S Harley Davidson. Don’t be surprised to see those names and more to bring home awards next year too. To all my clients, award winners and otherwise, I say thanks for allowing us to work for you. The knowledge I gained from working for you was the real reward for me.

The Downtown Dayton Partnership has launched a brand new - and very nice might I add - web site. Thanks to Dayton Most Metro for pointing me to it. Anyway, as I was checking it out, I saw a link called My Downtown. It sounded interesting, so I clicked. To my pleasant surprise, I discovered a profile of Dave Hafenbrack, my former boss and current friend. Dave tells the story of how Hafenbrack Marketing moved to Downtown Dayton, and how that move that invigorated the business. Dave states, “Moving downtown was the best business decision I’ve ever made.†“Our business soared, and employee morale and productivity went with it. We wanted to reinvent ourselves, and downtown Dayton offered exactly what we had in mind.†Having been at Hafenbrack during this time, I heartily agree. The site also features stories about CareSource, Boston Stoker, and Dayton Primary Urgent Care. If marketing is all about storytelling, then this site is right on the mark. Nice work DDP.
