CHICAGO (May 23, 2019) –Awards season is just beginning, but CBD Marketing (CBD) is already stacking up the wins, including from the 25th Annual Communicator Awards. The “Count on Us” campaign for Whirlpool Corporation’s Contract Channel won a Communicator Award of Distinction in the “Business-to-Business Campaign” category.
The campaign uses a numbers theme to reference—among other superlatives—Whirlpool brand’s number 1 position when it comes to appliance sales in the U.S. and its priority commitment to its home builder and distributor customers. Whirlpool Corporation’s Contract Channel is a key supplier to builders for a wide range of appliances across several brands, including Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and Amana. CBD has been AOR for Whirlpool Corporation Contract Channel for four years.
In addition, the agency won a Communicator Award of Distinction in the “Design for Marketing/Promotion” category for “Words of Wisdom for Kick-Ass Women, Volume 3.” With original illustrations by CBD’s senior designer and motivational quotes from 30 women leaders, “Words of Wisdom” proved to be a perfect celebration of CBD Marketing’s 30th anniversary year as a women-owned agency.
