Cronin and Company Earns 15 Awards at 53rd Annual Ad Club Award Show

GLASTONBURY, CONN./May 24, 2007 – From its own “Fruitcake Fling” online holiday card to television spots for national brand clients like Amica and Konica-Minolta Business Technologies, Cronin and Company, Inc. won 15 awards for its advertising and digital work at the 53rd Annual Advertising Club of Connecticut Awards Show last night at the Aqua Turf Club.

A full-service marketing communications agency, Cronin captured three gold, nine silver and three bronze awards. Two television spots took home gold awards – Amica’s “Cars are People, Too” and Liberty Bank’s “Violin.” The “Fruitcake Fling” was the third gold winner.

Cronin earned silver awards for both the Amica and Liberty Bank television ad campaigns, as well as another individual spot from each campaign – “Signs” for Amica and “Give Back” for Liberty Bank. A TV spot for Konica-Minolta, “What Happened,” and a print ad for AZO, “Kill Me Now,” also garnered silver awards.

Three digital projects round out Cronin’s silver awards trove –a banner ad called “Pulse” for Liberty Bank, the Twinings USA web site (www.twiningsusa.com) and a unique feature on that site, the Twinings Tea Finder, which helps users select blends of tea based on their taste preferences and moods.

The agency took home bronze awards for two television ads – Liberty Bank’s “Pain” and Konica-Minolta’s “Color” – and for a logo called “Pen” for the Harriet Beecher Stowe House.
