Hooray! Luckily, those strangers were judges at the 2008 Ad Rodeo. Highwood swept the radio category with best radio single and series, and also got 3 merits for newspaper single, poster single and self-promotion. We’d like to thank Chinook, Husky and ourselves for the award-winning work.

This April, Southland Transportation won big at the National Employer of Choice Marketing Awards (ECMAs) for the "become a bus driver" recruitment campaign we created with them. The campaign was awarded first place in overall campaign, print and broadcast categories and was up against major brands like Scotia Bank and McDonalds. The ECMAs are dedicated to recognizing the very best in branding by employers. Way to go team! Way to go Southland! Way to go bus drivers!

Not being an agency afraid to toot its own creative horn, we’re proud to share the latest Highwood award buzz. Our “become a bus driver” recruitment campaign for Southland Transportation was a finalist in the prestigious One Show. For those of you unfamiliar with The One Show, it’s sort of a big deal in our world. It’s the premiere international advertising awards competition. I guess you could call it our Oscars. The campaign was recognized in the Less than a Page print Campaign for 2007 and was up against 16,000 entries from all over the world. This is now our third time being recognized by One Show. Not that we’re counting.
