Winning this award provides further validation of the strategic approach we took and the quality of the content we produced together.”
According to a press release from Bulldog Reporter, winners of the 2014 Bulldog Digital/Social PR Awards were chosen from hundreds of entries representing the very best strategic and tactical prowess that PR corporate communications has to offer. Campaigns were judged exclusively by working journalists, who assessed them on the basis of their ability to achieve extraordinary visibility and influence opinion, as well as on creativity, command of media and technology and tenacity.
“The content program is the foundation for all of our success with marketing,” said Paul Horstmeier, senior vice president of marketing for Health Catalyst. “Amendola Communications has been the perfect partner to help build the engine that drives our strategy for educating rather than selling. The content program is paving the way to a new model of marketing that I believe is setting the standard in the healthcare industry, and we couldn’t have done it without them. We congratulate Amendola Communications for a well-deserved award win.”
