WASHINGTON, DC – October 6, 2010 – Strauss Radio Strategies, Inc. (SRS), the nation’s leading provider of strategic radio media relations services, announced today that it is the recipient of a 2010 Public Relations Society of America National Capital Chapter (PRSA-NCC) Thoth Award in the External Audio Program category.

The 42nd Annual Thoth Awards celebrates the talent and innovation of Washington, DC area public relations professionals. During the Egyptian-themed awards ceremony, held at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Washington, DC, 25 Thoth Awards and 20 Certificates of Excellence were presented to regional firms. The SRS staff attended the event and accepted the Thoth in the External Audio Program category.

 

A Thoth Award was presented to SRS for the Timberland PRO On-Air Promotion project, which was judged to be representative of the best work in the public relations industry. For this project, SRS, along with Porter Novelli’s New York office, designed and executed a campaign in twelve targeted markets that generated a broad mix of product give-aways, on-air testimonials, product mentions and contests to build awareness of the Timberland PRO Endurance boot among the target audience. The result was a promotional campaign that secured 877 on air mentions totaling more than seven on-air hours and reaching an audience of more than 4.2 million listeners.

 

“It is an honor and privilege to accept an award that recognizes the very best communications campaigns in Washington DC,” said Richard Strauss, President and Founder of Strauss Radio Strategies. “This is yet another testament to the superior results our team continues to achieve.”

 

“Timberland PRO and Porter Novelli are great clients for us,” said Eneuri Acosta, Senior Account Executive of Strauss Radio Strategies. “Given that most radio promotions are now driven mainly by station advertisers, we are quite pleased we were able to achieve these results for the client solely on the promotion itself.”

 

“This was a tremendous year for our chapter’s signature Thoth Awards program,” said Jeff Ghannam, PRSA-NCC 2010 President. “This year’s theme celebrates the traditional meaning of the Thoth Awards but there is nothing ancient or outdated about the winners. The innovative, strategic public relations work displayed in the nominations this year proves that Washington, DC is home to many communications ‘gods’.”

 

PRSA-NCC is a professional public relations organization of approximately 1,400 members in the Washington, DC, metropolitan region. Strauss Radio Strategies is a PRSA-NCC Diamond sponsor.
