CKR Interactive Honored with Two Gold Aster Awards

CUPERTINO, CA (PRWEB) May 10, 2010 — The Aster Awards has honored global recruitment marketing agency CKR Interactive with a pair of 2010 Gold Aster Awards, one of their highest awards, for two healthcare recruitment marketing campaigns.

The awards were given to the recruitment ad agency for their Northeast Georgia Health System “Out of the Box” campaign and the Kendall Regional Medical Center “UNIQUE” recruitment marketing series.

The Aster Awards, hosted by Creative Images, Inc., is an annual global contest recognizing the most talented healthcare marketing professionals for outstanding excellence in advertising. The 2010 Aster Awards received approximately 3,000 entries from across the United States as well as Canada and South America. Entries were judged by their creativity, layout and design, functionality, message effectiveness, production quality and overall appeal.

Both campaigns aimed to portray the clients’ unique perspective, employer brand and the type of employees they value, and entailed a variety of recruitment advertising elements including career landing pages, direct and email marketing, banner and print ads, banner stands and more.

“We are more than honored to receive this acknowledgment by Aster Awards for our healthcare campaigns,” said Craig Freitag, VP of Creative Services for CKR Interactive. “CKR Interactive has employed some of the best healthcare recruitment marketing professionals and graphic designers (both interactive and print) in the business, and we’re thrilled that members of our team are being recognized for their hard work. We will continue to make it a top priority to deliver the most cutting-edge interactive recruitment advertising services to our clients.”

“It was an honor to have CKR Interactive 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.
