Organization: Spectrum Health Systems Location: Grand Rapids, Michigan Title of Entry: “Spectrum Health Beat ‘Life after death'” Category: 64. Publication article |
What makes a good story? If you need an answer to that question, read Marie Havenga’s story, “Life after Death.” Jill writes for Health Beat, a news website updated daily for the Spectrum Health Systems of Western Michigan. Spectrum services more than 700,000 patients with 12 hospitals.
One of those patients, who had a massive heart attack, should have died for all intents and purposes. But one doctor and a dedicated group of health professionals literally brought him back to life. It is a riveting tale of a life and death struggle that could have gone either way.
Read the enthralling story on Health Beat.

Organization: eatsleepthink Location: Sheffield, Great Britain Title of Entry: “Smoke Barbecue” Category: 56. Photography in advertising |
Sometimes the best marketing tool is the simplest. For example, a picture.
Eatsleepthink is an UK-based company that prides itself on creative solutions across platforms. Their client list ranges from small businesses to giant corporations.
Recently, they were tasked with promoting a new restaurant opening in Leeds. No easy feat. The agency created billboard ads it describes as “raw” and “animalistic.” Whatever the description, it makes you want to grab a piece of meat from Smoke Barbecue.
Are you marketing yourself and your company as well as you market your client? Winning a Hermes Creative Award is an inexpensive way to distinguish your work from your competition.

Organization: Texas A&M Foundation Location: College Station, Texas Title of Entry: “Texas A&M Foundation 2015 Annual Report” Category: 102. Nonprofit annual report |
The Texas A&M Foundation is a nonprofit organization that financially sustains and nurtures one of the Lone Star State’s flagship universities. Most foundations have annual reports, but not everyone does a website version. The Texas A&M Foundation’s 2015 report could serve as a template for how they should look, read, and feel. The design is stellar, as are the smartly designed graphics and crisp text. The site is easily navigable and filled with good content and bright visuals. See the report>>

Company: John Hancock Location: Boston, MA Title of Entry: “John Hancock 2016 “Roland” Calendar” Category: 23. Calendar |
As far as calendars go, most are cut from the same cloth–a pretty picture each month, color gradients over the dates, and a philosophical statement or two. If not that, then twelve months of overt product placement.
John Hancock provides clients with financial solutions for every stage of life, including retirement plans. Its calendar creation delivers a serious tongue-in-cheek message on retirement. Using both satire and humor in original cartoons, the company captures attention while making a point. Think Gary Larson’s “Far Side” newspaper strip.
