The campaign includes print, online, TV and radio segments to raise awareness for the July 21 match between the Celtic Football Club and the Sporting Clube de Portugal. On the heels of the FIFA World Cup frenzy, the exciting event is the first soccer game to be played in the Boston ballpark since 1968.

CTP earned eight awards for public relations excellence at The Publicity Club of New England’s annual Bell Ringer Award Ceremony. In the company of the most prominent PR agencies across New England, CTP’s eight Bells were among the top five won by any agency.
CTP also became the first agency recognized twice for a “New or Social Media Campaign” award, a new category in the 2010 lineup. CTP was honored with Bells for our work with Innerscope Research, Breeder’s Cup World Championships, Blio and Wrightsville Beach PR campaigns.

CTP recently earned the AICP award for Best of Boston for our “I Am” spot, a campaign that highlights Eastern Bank’s commitment to their individual customers and their emphasis on working together as a team. The ninth annual competition honors creative excellence in editorial, design and visual effects.
"What could be more fitting an honor for a spot about Teamwork than this? We took a great idea and partnered with a world class editorial and production company. We're thrilled for our client, and everyone involved that helped make this a success," said Executive Creative Director Grant Pace
CTP's dynamic and empathetic spot has helped the New England bank counter the competition by portraying how Eastern Bank genuinely cares about the communities it serves--a quality that national banks often lack. By creating the "I Am" campaign, CTP has given Eastern Bank an advantage over other prominent national banks. It is a well-deserved honor for CTP.

CTP earned the national award for its work unveiling Blio to media at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. Our outreach generated significant coverage across a broad spectrum - from trades and TV to bloggers and print. NPR called it “the best product at CES.” CNN wrote, “ Amid a crowd of promising new electronic readers at CES, this one stood out.” The LA Times suggested that Blio “promises to put those gray-scale displays to shame.”
This and so much more generated overwhelming consumer anticipation, heavy traffic to blioreader.com, interest from potential business partners and substantial social media traffic. In fact, the buzz could be summed up by this Tweet: “Blio is the media darling of CES.”
"Introducing what we think is a game-changer in the eReader market during the hyper-competitive CES presented us with a very real challenge. The results were gratifying," said CTP SVP Brian Heffron. "While we don't do what we do to win awards, it is an honor to be recognized by your peers and to be placed in the same category as some of the nation's biggest, most recognized brands."

While Innerscope found that engagement with auto ads fell from 2008 to 2009, its study also revealed that some themes and concepts resonate with consumers regardless of the economic climate.
CTP earned the award for its design and development of Microsoft New England Research and Development Centerʼs website (www.microsoftcambridge.com), beating finalists Genuine Interactive, Jack Morton Worldwide, iMarc LLC, PJA Advertising and Marketing, and Small Army. The website is part of a comprehensive, integrated marketing and communications program, including the use of out-of-home and interactive media, that CTP developed and manages for Microsoft.
“Not only is it incredibly rewarding to win such a prestigious award and to be recognized by your peers, but weʼre extremely proud to share it with a great client,” said Michael McCrary, Interactive Director at CTP. “Working on a project like this is rewarding in itself because a company like Microsoft understands how a great site can reach its target audiences. We worked closely with Microsoft to deliver a site that leveraged our brand campaign and that helps to communicate the personality of the people and teams at the campus.”
