Rella:Cowan is a Winner in 2010 Summit Creative Awards

Durham, N.C. - Rella:Cowan, a full-service strategic marketing and advertising firm, recently received a Silver Award from the 2010 Summit Creative Award competition for a capital campaign brochure created for Wingate University. The international competition received thousands of entries from 24 countries this year.

"This capital campaign brochure is the centerpiece of our comprehensive $46 million campaign - the largest fundraising effort in Wingate's history," says Vint Tilson, vice president for resource development with Wingate University. "This piece is what we need to present a compelling and emotional case to donors and prospects."

The Summit International Awards organization (SIA), which hosts the Summit Creative Award competition, has established itself as one of the premier arbiters of creative excellence. This year, the Summit Creative Awards competition included a panel of judges from Ogilvy B2, Saatchi&Saatchi, MCN Interpublic Group, among others. It is the 16th year for the annual competition, and the second year that Rella:Cowan has entered its work and received recognition.

"The caliber of recognition we received from an international panel of judges is truly rewarding," says Domenick Rella, creative director at Rella:Cowan. "We work hard to bring fresh ideas to our clients' challenges, and it's gratifying to have our work recognized in this way."
