We recently received word that some of our work has won several design awards.

Our work with EMC on their “Efficiency” advertising campaign netted us a Gold Award from the Hermes Creative Awards.

Additionally, we earned three Summit International Awards: a bronze award for our work on the Harvard University Nieman Foundation annual report, a silver award for a Northeastern University on-line direct mailer, and a bronze award for our logo redesign for the Marino Center for Integrative Health.

At HB, we’re exceedingly lucky to work with a dedicated group of clients who help us to produce award-winning work.

Awards Never Get Old

Posted on November 10, 2008 by Justin Hastings

Receiving design awards is always good news at HB. Most recently, we earned two Davey Awards.

Our work on a previous award-winner, the NextPoint Properties direct mailers, netted us a gold award while our work with EMC & CDW on a baseball card promotion earned us a silver award.

Big thanks to our clients on all of our work – our client relationships help us to build and create award-winning projects.

Wear Blue: Bring Green

Posted on November 5, 2008 by Amanda Jayachandran

We recently completed a creative invitation for a fundraiser supporting Compassionate Care ALS and the MDAA/ALS Center at UMass Memorial Medical Center. We were tasked with creating an elegant invitation with a Southwestern flair.

Our design included a swatch of denim adhered to a textured paper with a simple message: Wear Blue. Bring Green.

The event was filled with an audience excited to wear blue jeans at the classy Tutnuck Country Club. Attendees brought their “green” with them as the event successfully raised nearly $100,000.

The invitation design has been given an honorable mention by MarCom Awards.

EMC was looking to inform and motivate partners about a new product, the EMC CLARiiON CX4.

We developed a kit with an easy pull-out brochure and a cd with an interactive graphical user interface. It included assets in nine different languages.

The kit design, including a silver foil, has won two MarCom Awards for Platinum Award (highest recognition) in the Design/Media Kit category and the Gold Award in the Media Kit/Product Launch category.

Rejection Never Felt this Good

Hart Boillot is proud to announce their sponsorship of a unique graphic design awards contest: Project Never. The competition honors the most creative concept never to reach production.

Two HB employees, Matt Gustavsen and Justin Hastings, experienced and understood that many great design concepts were going unused and helped to develop Project Never. By honoring the greatest of the rejects, Project Never will recognize some of the industry’s most creative designs.

Hitting the Target

Posted on September 11, 2008 by Justin Hastings

Hart Boillot recently won two Summit Marketing Effectiveness Awards for our work with EMC and NextPoint Properties.

Our work on the EMC CLARiiON AX4 Sales Kit earned praise for its ease of use, design, and effectiveness in EMC’s channel marketing group.

Additionally, our teamwork with NextPoint Properties delivered a unique, tactile direct mail campaign to create awareness for a new company and new real estate strategy in Massachusetts.

We continue to be proud of all our work, whether or not we win an award. Much of the credit for our success goes to our incredible clients who partner with us to deliver well-designed strategic communications.

A Bell Ringer haiku for all to enjoy

Posted on June 25, 2008 by Kevin Hart

******
Two Merit Awards
Stiff competition for Bells
Proud to be HB
******

The Bell Ringer Awards was a fabulous night shared among HBers. We dined on fancy eats and laughed together. Alas, the awards were not to ring as we’d hoped. With five nominations, we took home two Merits and we are proud of our accomplishment. We learned a great deal about what the best entries for this award would be and how to position them for glory.

On an exceedingly bright note, Dawn Sullivan, one of our newest team members “won” four Bells and one Merit (including “Campaign” category bells that represent the bigger picture and impact of PR) for work she did while at Schwartz Communications. We met a great number of smart and talented pros and we’re better for having entered. My confidence grows daily in the amazing team we have and the stellar experience we consistently deliver for our clients. We look forward to greater success in 2009.

The ghosts of Hart-Boillot’s past awards

Posted on March 14, 2008 by Kevin Hart

I’ve written chapter and verse on the likes and dislikes, desires and loathing, sadness and joy of winning, losing and ignoring awards. It is only recently that I’ve warmed to the idea of submitting and appreciating winning awards for our work (beyond money and jubilant praise from our clients). I suspect that my newfound appreciation is the result of the eager group of incredibly smart and talented Hart-Boillot colleagues who would like to see us win many more awards. All of this award discussion got me thinking… I wondered what awards we’d won in the past, so I dug through my files to find the following… some of them link to the actual work.

American Graphic Design Award
1999: Ariel ISP Campaign – Frank ad
1999: Ariel ISP Campaign – Stanley ad

2001: Ariel ISP Ad – Brilliant DM
2001: Ariel ISP Ad – Scalable

2002: Glow Dog – Catalog

Summit Awards for Creative Excellence
2001: Ariel ad campaign – Bronze

2002: Aviat Husky Ad Campaign – Silver

2003: Onpoint Logo – Silver
2003: Harvard University AtWork Awareness – Gold

2006: Get Connected identity – Bronze

MarComm Creative Awards
2007: Harvard University Nieman Foundation Annual Report

I am confident that we’ve “won” many many more awards in the form of praise from our clients and continued payment of invoices. However, having something to hang on the wall or place on the shelf feels quite… Rewarding.

Awards

Posted on January 18, 2008 by Kevin Hart

I used to think that awards didn’t mean a whole lot. I figured great work was actually defined by results and client satisfaction.

However, it turns out that when client and agency teams really trust one another to get every aspect of a project right – by everyone’s definition – the work can be award winning.

We recently won a 2007 Summit Marketing Effectiveness Award for an EMC campaign. Aside from being the coolest looking award on our shelf, it represents a wonderful working relationship with a great client. In fact, all of the awards we display represent the amazing people we get to work with and projects we get to work on, regardless of whether they are deemed award-worthy or not. And that’s something quite meaningful.

Yes…We Did It Again!

Posted on December 5, 2006 by Christine Tesseo

MarCom Creative AwardsSince its inception in 1999, Hart-Boillot has been an award-winning conceptual team. Branding, advertising, and collateral campaigns…we’ve always made a grand entrance. This is what drew me to HB nearly 2 years ago. Not just the awards, but the fact that I was immersing myself into a highly conceptual environment with the energy and enthusiasm to match. I am proud to announce that the HB team was recently awarded Gold in the MarCom Creative Awards competition for our work on the Harvard Nieman Foundation Annual Report. We were selected from over 5,000 international entries…it is a great feeling to be part of a creative and inspiring team!
