FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

MondoVox® Creative Group (Chicago, IL), a brand and marketing consultancy for consumer and business-to-business products and services, recently created an award-winning campaign for Ripon Printers (Ripon, WI), a leading printer of catalogs, publications, manuals and soft-cover educational products. The company received the prestigious National Association for Printing Leadership (NAPL) Marketing Plus™ Award. This competition acknowledges and recognizes those printing companies that have created and produced successful marketing campaigns and collateral for the self-promotion of their companies.

Ripon Printers was the sole recipient of the Gold Award in the Vertical Markets category for printers with more than $2 million in annual sales. Entries in this category consisted of campaigns to promote company core competencies and services specifically relevant to identified vertical markets and positioning the company as an effective market leader in these market segments.

“Ripon Printers is an outstanding printing company and client,” says MondoVox President Julia Moran Martz. “They are open to seeing the market in new ways and believe in the power of communications. The collaborative effort between their marketing team and ours clearly produced results that outpaced most companies in the printing industry.”

The award-winning campaign focused on the small to mid-size catalog market. Key elements of the integrated, multichannel campaign created by MondoVox include a series of print and banner ads run in Multichannel Merchant magazine, a series of “Tips” booklets used for inquiry fulfillment, a website revamp, a trade show booth and show promotional materials. Results of the campaign were outstanding and contributed to Ripon Printers developing more than 100 new accounts in 2009 worth millions of billing dollars during one of the worst economies on record.
