Now Eligible for Regional Recognition

For Brand Tango, a Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.-based marketing, technology and design firm, 2010 is off to a promising start. After winning a national Gold Addy award from the American Advertising Federation in 2009, Brand Tango has won 13 Addy Awards in last weekend’s Ft. Lauderdale and Miami local competitions, the first step toward national honors.

At the Ft. Lauderdale show, work by Brand Tango vice president and creative director James Kluetz took home Best in Print and Best in Show honors in addition to six Gold and four Silver Addys. Kluetz entered one project in the Miami competition and won a Gold Addy for that entry.

Both competitions qualify the firm to move forward toward a national Addy from the American Advertising Federation. With more than 50,000 entries annually, the ADDY Awards are the world’s largest advertising competition and arguably one of the toughest, with three tiers of competition.

“It’s a thrill to see our work recognized by our peers,” says Joe Russoniello, Brand Tango’s president and co-founder. “Especially since this is an awards program administered by the advertising industry for the industry.”

Among Brand Tango clients whose projects were honored was Hacienda Tres Rios Resort. A new member point-of-sale kit for Hacienda Tres Rios Resort won Best in Print. Other clients with winning projects are Premier Cancun Vacations, Neoptx, Floridays Vacation Club, Royal Resorts Caribbean, a Sunset World/RCI Web site and AutomaticMe.com, which won for a social networking Web site developed by Brand Tango.

Winning a Gold in the Miami competition was a project for Fastkit Corp., which Kluetz designed in association with Brand Tango’s partner agency Pinpoint Communications of Deerfield, Fla., where he also serves as vice president and creative director.

“We’re grateful to our clients for entrusting us with their brand and image,” Kluetz says. “In these challenging times, we know that what matters is return on investment, and these projects delivered.”

In addition to Brand Tango’s Best in Show Print, Kluetz’s creative direction for Brand Tango’s partner agency, Pinpoint Communications, took home Best in Show overall for a Magaritaville Tailgating Dealer Promotion sales kit for Jarden Consumer Solutions.

This recognition comes as Brand Tango heads into the American Resort Development Association’s awards gala in Las Vegas on March 17, where it’s a finalist for 14 Gold ARDY Awards.

Progress Results From Customer Count © Online System Shows Water Conservation at Top of Resort Managers List

CustomerCount©, in partnership with the American Resort Development Association (ARDA) and Triton Timeshare Software has launched a survey to ascertain the resort industry’s property management commitment and direction when it comes to Green Initiatives.  The survey which was emailed to over 18, 000  hospitality professionals has provided some initial results, according to  Bob Kobek, President of Mobius Vendor Partners’ creator of the CustomerCount feedback system.

Preliminary tabulations from the real time, online feedback provided by the CustomerCount survey show that  when it comes to “going green”  at their resorts, 80% of those participating are concentrating on water conservation, particularly in the area of internal plumbing, as well as refurbishing showers and toilets to become more water efficient.  Nearly as high on the list of green efforts was trash recycling; according to the cross tabulation report, only 20% of resorts responding were not recycling their trash. Among those who have been, most definitely separated paper and cardboard from the balance of their trash.  Only 67% responded they separated the aluminum.

The survey also looked at such efforts as HVAC Monitoring, Lighting and Building Materials.  The lightest in the area of a green commitment (for 2010 plans) is still building materials, where answers were divided 43% (yes) and 67% (no).  This may be due to the lack of plans for total build outs as well as larger remodeling plans.

The survey continues to be available on line until the end of March; it will also be online at the Triton Timeshare Software booth, and various Wi-Fi locations at the American Resort Development Association convention at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, NV from March 14-18.

In order to encourage vital responses all timeshare professionals responding to this survey will have a tree planted in their honor by Arbor Day Foundations as part of its “Replanting Our Forests” campaign.

The project is designed to support ARDA’s Sustainability/Green Design Group committee to help establish the future direction of the committee’s focus.

The CustomerCount Online Feedback process began with Email invitations and reminders and continues through to on-line reporting and analysis 24/7. It has been customized for this survey.  Originally designed by Mobius Vendor Partners for its client RCI, the Online Feedback system collects and measures feedback from customers and can be designed, such as in this case, for other market measuring campaigns as well.

The Customer Count Survey is available at https://www.customercountsurveys.com/front/TheTrades/
