It's always nice to be recognized by your peers. We had that honor once again this past weekend during the On Hold Messaging Association's annual MARCE Awards ceremony.
BusinessVoice received two of the five awards presented, and the only two Judge's Choice awards for favorite On Hold Messaging production.
Judge Mike Kurtz from the University of Dayton’s Media Production Group wrote that the On Hold Messaging we created for Discount Parts Exchange...
"...has a great mix of humor and relevant information. Even though I have never had any contact with Discount Parts Exchange, I already have a positive image of them. Their production creates an image of a friendly and helpful organization. The voice talent is excellent and seems to be a great fit for their target audience. The messages are short and intermixed with music so that they do not overwhelm the listener. I wouldn't mind being on hold with this production.”
Judge Dave Savage, Station Branding Manager for the Clear Channel radio group, selected our entry for Amazing Space as his Judge’s Choice Award. He wrote...
“Love the concept. On the surface it seems like normal, everyday on hold messaging, but what the voiceover is saying is VERY different. Great idea!”
According to the On Hold Messaging Association's website, "the MARCE Awards is the only competition that encourages and rewards creative and marketing excellence among On Hold Messaging providers exclusively. In doing so, we hope to raise the creative and marketing standards of all OHM companies and the expectations of clients and their callers. For these reasons, the MARCE Award is a coveted symbol of industry leadership."
