Mackenzie Design Studio is Recognized Among
the Nation’s Most Elite Healthcare Marketing
Professionals in the 2010 Aster Awards Competition

 
     
  For Immediate Release - May 9, 2010  
     
  Honored for excellence in advertising in the 2010 Aster Awards, Mackenzie Design Studio received 2 GOLD recognitions in this year’s competition.  
     
  The Aster Awards, one of the largest national competitions of its kind, is hosted by Marketing Healthcare Today Magazine and Creative Images, Inc. This elite program recognizes outstanding healthcare professionals for excellence in their advertising/marketing efforts for the calendar year 2009.  
     
 
The 2010 Aster Awards received approximately 3,000 entries from across the United States as well as Canada and South America. Participant’s entries competed against similar-sized organizations in their category. Entries must score at least in the top 85% to receive an award. Judging criteria includes creativity, layout and design, functionality, message effectiveness, production quality and overall appeal.
 
     
  “It was an honor to have Mackenzie Design Studio participate in the 2010 Aster Awards Competition. They placed in the top 5% of the nation. The quality of this year’s entries went well beyond the judges’ expectations,” said Melinda R. Lucas, Aster Awards Program Coordinator.  
     
  “We are thrilled to have won 2 gold Aster Awards, and feel most fortunate to have been recognized for the third year in a row for work which we find so soul-satisfying. This year was especially rewarding, since we were able to share honors with good friends in our industry; Kreck Design Solutions, along with John Faulkner and Karen Wallace, on behalf of the Healthcare Foundation
Northern Sonoma County,” said Ann Mackenzie of Mackenzie Design Studio, Healdsburg, California, (d.b.a. Mackenzie Digital Art). www.amackenzie.com
