Local marketers win award for Pedigree
Posted on June 22, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Marketing agency Catapult, which runs an office near Cummins Station, recently won a Best in Show in the 2009 Promo Interactive Marketing Awards for its work on the Pedigree Million Dog Mosaic Campaign. Pedigree is a Cool Springs-headquartered division of Mars Petcare.
The campaign generated funding for the Pedigree Foundation, a newly-formed 501(c)(3) aimed at helping shelter dogs find loving homes. As part of the campaign, people uploaded photos of their dogs to a Web site, creating a mosaic image of a shelter dog. In response to each upload, Pedigree donated $1 to the Foundation.
Promo also listed Catapult as one of the top 100 marketing firms in the country, coming in at number 32. Despite the economic downtown, Catapult has experienced growth, posting $28.5 million in net revenue in 2008. The growth caused the firm to double the size its Nashville office in 2008.
