2014 NTCA TeleChoice Award Winners [Rural Telecommunications](Rural Telecommunications Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The NTCA TeleChoice Awards is an annual program that honors excellence in member telecom company public relations and marketing. Entries were displayed and 33 winners were announced during the recent PR & Marketing Conference in Seattle, Wash. "Telco marketers are naturally creative and innovative. The TeleChoice Awards program gives them the opportunity to shine and to learn from one another," said NTCA Director of Communications Laura Withers. "We're really excited to display the new local video content category this year. It's a terrific way for us to celebrate the work of our members." Entries in six main categories-annual report, complete marketing campaign, customer newsletter, single-target print publication, local video content and website-were judged in three divisions based on the number of access lines served by the entrant. Also, entries were judged by two production types: "in-house" and "outsourced." "In-house" refers to entries for which the creative aspect originated within the member companies, while "outsourced" refers to those entries for which the creative aspect was implemented with assistance from a consultant or outside firm. Entries were judged on design, writing, creativity and other elements specific to each category. (c) 2014 National Telephone Cooperative |
