New York, NY—June 3, 2010—JWT INSIDE, one of the world’s leading employee communications and marketing agencies, was honored back-to-back with two Aster Awards and nine Healthcare Advertising Awards for excellence in health care marketing.

The agency was also awarded a Bronze Aster Award for Magazine Advertisement for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles in an ad promoting their status being named to the U.S. News & World Report Honor Roll, ranking America’s best hospitals.

The Healthcare Advertising Awards, sponsored by Healthcare Marketing Report, awarded JWT INSIDE nine awards for creative work done across the country in a variety of categories including print, radio, Web and new media. A Gold Award was received for a Texas Children’s Hospital magazine series and the Department of Veteran Affairs professional recruitment campaign.

Merit was also received for clients Catholic Healthcare West, HCA Houston, Oakwood, and Proliance Surgeons.

“Health care can be a challenging, yet rewarding, industry for communications,” said Mary Olson, Executive Creative Director, JWT INSIDE. “Being awarded for our creativity and innovation in this field is an honor, and we look forward to continuing to provide impactful communications for our client’s internal and external audiences alike.”

“We are proud to receive recognition from both Creative Images, Inc., and the Healthcare Marketing Report for our work in the health care marketing industry,” said Rob Quish, Chief Executive Officer, JWT INSIDE. “Health care exists in the same complicated and communication-cluttered world that all of us live in. At JWT INSIDE, communication strategies for health care clients are developed by people with vast knowledge of the continuously evolving world of modern communication; joined by people who have decades of experience in creating successful employment marketing solutions for the health care industry. Our teams work hard to avoid the `silos of specialization’ that can deny clients access to the larger world of creativity and innovation. Our goal is to put into our health care clients’ hands all the knowledge and resources of a total communications provider.”
