SMI Magazine Wins Folio Award

“We are gratified and pleased that through the hard work and dedication of our staff, contributors and Bates Creative Group, 'Sales + Marketing Ideas' has been recognized for the first time by the Ozzie awards,” said Joseph P. McGaw, the magazine's publisher and editor-in-chief.

SMI was redesigned with the help of National Sales and Marketing Council members under the direction of McGaw. The first issue featuring the new design was unveiled at NAHB’s 2004 International Builders’ Show.

“Winning awards is exciting — getting recognition from one’s peers is gratifying,” says Jane Farthing, art director at the Bates Group. “Sales + Marketing Ideas is a publication targeting other creative problem solvers, and that makes it an especially satisfying publication to work on.”

In addition to the Ozzie, SMI has received a SNAP (Society of National Association Publications) Excel Bronze Award and four PIVA (Printing Industry of Virginia) Awards. Bates Creative Group also has won three other Silver Ozzie awards and a Silver Inkwell Award in 2004.
