Woman Owned Designation for Windsor-Detroit Firm gains International recognition for excellence in marketing with awards.
July 22, 2014 – Douglas Marketing Group continues to be recognized for their award winning creative, web development and marketing. Two additional awards have been bestowed on the team this year; a silver Summit Award for the “Complete Branding Package” category for their client Thomas’ Utopia Brand and a bronze Summit Award for the “Health/Fitness/Lifestyle Website” category for their client Windsor-Essex County Cancer Foundation http://windsorcancerfoundation.org. The recent recognition brings DMG to 8 international awards in less than two years.
Working with companies positioning themselves to compete online and offline in a global economy is the strength of the award received for the work they have done with Thomas’ Utopia Brand. Thomas’ Utopia Brand is a conventional and organic tomato processor with distribution across North America, China and Nigeria. Thomas’ Utopia Brand engaged Douglas Marketing Group as its Agency of Record in late 2012 to develop and implement a global marketing strategy. http://www.thomasutopiabrand.com
