Clarus also announced that it won its fourth PR industry award this year:
the prestigious 2009 Hoosier PRSA Pinnacle Award. The award, in the media
relations program category, was in recognition of the campaign,
"YourEncore: Innovation and Retiree Awareness." Winning campaigns are
chosen by members of the Indiana branch of the Public Relations Society of
America, and are considered to employ some of the most innovative and
successful communications techniques in the state.
"I have worked with Clarus for more than 10 years at various companies in a
myriad of industries and there is no one else I would trust more to
implement sound, pragmatic PR strategies that communicate the right message
and that drive sales leads," said Jill Snyder, vice president of marketing
at Schneider. "With Clarus I know I always get the 'A' team because there
is no 'B' team."
Snyder was vice president of marketing at YourEncore while Clarus performed
the work that garnered the Pinnacle Award.
"As an agency built solidly on the relationships we create and maintain
with our clients, we are thrilled that Schneider has put their trust in us
to help raise awareness of their brand and drive growth," said Mara
Conklin, president of Clarus Communications. "We are excited to build on
Schneider's already strong history and to help them grow into an even
greater presence in Indiana and throughout the Midwest."
The PRSA Pinnacle Award marks Clarus' fourth PR industry award in 2009. In
May, the agency was awarded the "Silver Bulldog Award for Best General
Business Campaign" by the Bulldog Reporter, a national media intelligence
