DALLAS, TX-- MarCom Awards today announced winners for the 2007 international
awards competition that recognizes outstanding creative achievement by marketing and
communication professionals. There were over 5,000 entries from throughout the United
States and several foreign countries in the 2007 competition.

MarCom entries come from corporate marketing and communication departments,
advertising agencies, PR firms, design shops, production companies and freelancers. The
competition has grown to perhaps the largest of its kind in the world. A look at the
winners shows a range in size from individual communicators to media conglomerates
and Fortune 50 companies. The competition is so well respected in the industry
that national public relations organizations, local ad clubs, and local business
communicator chapters are entrants.

MarCom Awards is administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and
Communication Professionals. The international organization consists of several
thousand creative professionals. The Association oversees awards and recognition
programs, provides judges and sets standards for excellence.

As part of its mission, AMCP fosters and supports the efforts of creative professionals
who contribute their unique talents to public service and charitable organizations. Over
the past year, AMCP’s Advisory Board donated over $20,000 in grants to support the
efforts of its members. That money was used for marketing materials for homeless
shelters, orphanages, day camps, community theaters, art centers, programs for the elderly
and for child care and educational endeavors for the underprivileged.

Judges are industry professionals who look for companies and individuals whose talent
exceeds a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the
industry.

Winners were selected from over 200 categories in seven forms of media and
communication efforts- marketing, publications, marketing/promotion, public service/pro
bono, creativity and electronic/interactive. About 18% of the entries won the Platinum
Award, the organization’s top honor. A complete list of Platinum Winners can be found
