Brogan & Partners Start With Your Heart Campaign Wins 2005 Telly Award

Cary, NC - Jim Tobin, Partner at Brogan & Partners Convergence Marketing, announced today that the firm has received a 2005 Bronze Telly Award in the category of Commercials. Brogan & Partners Convergence Marketing was recognized for their efforts in developing and implementing a successful television ad, entitled: "Lost in Translation" for the State of North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, which educated the population on how to prevent premature death and disability due to heart disease and stroke. The Telly Awards is an annual event that honors outstanding local, regional, and cable television commercials and programs, as well as video and film productions.

"We are thrilled to win such a prestigious award," said Tobin. "But we never forget that a successful campaign is one that impresses the target audience. We have been even more grateful that the spot is helping raise awareness of blood pressure issues."
