Awards Honored Outstanding Sports Promotion and Marketing at PIX11, PHL17 & WGN

Tribune Broadcasting Creative Group was honored with three sports media marketing awards at the 2011 PROMAX Sports Media Event in New York City. Tribune Creative celebrated three wins, 1 Gold (PIX11/New York) and 2 Silver Awards (PHL17/Philadelphia and WGN/Chicago.)

All production and design work was done entirely in-house by Tribune Creative Group under the leadership of John Zeigler, VP of Creative (East Region) and Carrie King, VP of Creative (Central Region.)

“As Chicago’s Very Own local sports leader, we are excited to have our hard work recognized,” commented Marty Wilke, VP/General Manager, WGN-TV.  “With 49 hours of news a week, we’re delivering more news and sports Chicagoans can use and enjoy on a daily basis; more than any other broadcast station in the Chicago market.  WGN is lucky to have access to one of the strongest creative teams in the Midwest.  Knowing how fierce the competition is in the #3 market, this level of peer recognition is something we can all be proud of.”

Vince Giannini, PHL17 VP and General Manager said, “PHL17 is extremely fortunate to have the creative talent in our local station group to produce cutting edge promotional spots for the Phillies and our other high profile properties; we are in the entertainment business and these spots truly entertain the audience.”

“Tribune Broadcasting is setting the standard for creative excellence and we are thrilled the industry is recognizing the exceptional talent we have cultivated” said Eric Meyrowitz, PIX11 VP/General Manager.
