Celebrating 50 Years of Creativity: The Ad Club Announces Winners of the 2010 Hatch Awards

Boston, MA (PRWEB) October 16, 2010

More than 900 marketing and advertising dignitaries representing the nation?s most recognizable brands and agencies attended The Ad Club?s 50th anniversary of the Hatch Awards at the Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 14, 2010.

Under the theme ?a great idea is great forever,? the event celebrated the past 50 years of creativity in the region, and honored the top current creative work found throughout New England?s advertising and marketing industry.

Earlier this year The Ad Club flew in an all-star crew of judges representing some of the nation?s top agencies. They paged through 892 entries from more than 100 different companies. At the ceremony, The Ad Club awarded 23 gold winning entries, 98 silver winning entries and 109 bronze awards. New categories this year include ?mobile application,? ?best spot for super budget under $ 15,000,? ?experiential? and ?games.?

?Many local brands have been honored by the Hatch Awards over the past 50 years, including John Hancock, Liberty Mutual, Dunkin Donuts, Ocean Spray and Fidelity,? said Kathy Kiely, president of The Ad Club. ?This year?s winners were honored for their traditional work, as well as for their creative work in digital, mobile, social media and web categories. While our platforms have changed over time, the marketing fact remains ? ?a great idea is great forever.??

In addition to well known agencies such as Arnold Worldwide, Hill Holliday and Mullen, newer agencies in the Hatch 50 spotlight included Allen & Gerritsen, Brand Content, Fort Franklin, Full Contact, PJA Advertising, BEAM Interactive, MMB and NAIL.

The awards show is named in honor of the late Francis W. Hatch (1897- 1975), who began his career in advertising at BBDO and went on to become the head of their Boston office. He was a copywriter, songwriter, storyteller and humanitarian. In choosing the title of this event, award show founders decided that it would carry the name of a person who was respected for the qualities for which The Ad Club stood. Hatch was unanimously selected.

At present day, Kiely says the local marketing communications industry is strong. The Ad Club released a benchmark study with the Boston Redevelopment Authority this summer. The marketing and communications sector has a direct effect of $ 16.3 billion on the MA GRP and is responsible for more than 143,000 jobs in the Commonwealth, equaling 4.4% of total jobs.

A complete list of The Hatch Awards gold and silver winners is available by request. The specialty award-winners of the 2010 Hatch Awards include the following:

Topshop Announces its New Autumn/Winter Collections

London, UK (PRWEB) July 15, 2010

Topshop have just launched their autumn/winter collections, High Performance, Out of the Wild, Dark Nouveau and Outsiders.????

Continuing on from the summer's sportswear inspired craze, High Performance features panelling, clashing textures and high-tech fabrics. Giving sportswear a tougher feel for winter, styles are layered, worn under and over one another, while panels of aertex, mesh, lace, jersey and leather sit together to create a new look. Finishes use sportswear technology; seams are fused, while edges are bonded and laser cut for precision. Prints are also central to this look and are at once tribal and technical - a car tyre print adorns a loose-fitting chiffon trouser while graphic prints adorn dresses (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=42344&langId=-1&top=Y ) which feature mesh panels.

Tapping into the colours of autumn, the Out of the Wild collection is founded upon the elements. Faux fur, bondage-style strapping, dishevelled fabrics and patchwork feature heavily, making textured knitwear and mixed materials central to this trend. With pieces that are knotted, laddered, and adorned with feathers and wild trims mixed with checks and tweed, the collection has an outdoors throw on feel. Softer elements combine with tougher pieces and feature photo real-prints inspired by nature; a leaf skeleton print decorates a pleated chiffon maxi skirt that also features animal markings and looks great teamed with cable knit knee high socks and oversized, chunky knits.

As nights get longer and the days get darker earlier, Topshop has created the Dark Nouveau collection which has an after-hours feel. Taking inspiration from the Art Nouveau movement - including Bardsley's illustrations for Oscar Wilde and the more recent Banshees created by Neville Page for Avatar - the collection has a whimsical, fairytale feel. With tough, medieval-esque details used throughout, this collection provides a great opportunity to experiment with different make up (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=206987&langId=-1&top=Y ). Dark lipsticks and heavy eye shadows will complement the clothing range which includes studded corsets and cage-like skirts with harness detailing.

Also tapping into the great outdoors, the Outsiders collection takes the best of Britain's heritage pieces and deconstructs them to create a modern feel. Elements of hunting, shooting, and fishing pervade the trend; the Jodhpur and the equestrian style jacket are key and prints take their inspiration from bird watching.

Topshop has also published a short behind the scenes video to accompany the new Topshop Autumn Winter collections (http://www.youtube.com/user/TopshopPodcasts#p/u/0/K_DCyqEiufQ ) and allow online viewers to get a first look.

About Topshop:

Topshop was established in 1964 and is part of Arcadia Group Ltd. Sir Philip Green became owner of Arcadia Group Ltd in 2002.

Topshop is continually recognised as being an authority on women's clothing by continuing to provide key fashion pieces such as jeans, dresses including a range of bodycon dresses (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?beginIndex=0&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=162920&parent_category_rn=42344&langId=-1&top=Y ), shoes, trousers and skirts. Having won several awards for design reputation and new services Topshop positions itself as a fashion authority supplying all women's fashion needs from jeans (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=115935&langId=-1&top=Y ) and must have maxi dresses to fashionable maternity wear.

Topshop was the first fashion retailer to show on schedule at London Fashion Week in September 2005 when it presented its own acclaimed in-house design collection Unique (created in 2001). Subsequent partnerships with international boutiques as far flung as Tokyo and LA followed and Topshop continues to grow its reputation for supporting exciting new talent.

Topshop Announces Christmas Collections with a Behind the Scenes Video

London, England (PRWEB) November 18, 2010

Topshop has revealed its new collections for Christmas 2010; Snow Queen, New Puritan, Demi Couture and Abigail's Party, all available online and in store. The clothing retailer has also released a behind the scenes video highlighting the individual style of each collection.

Snow Queen is inspired by the textures of the natural world and drifts through the snow-covered landscape in billowing chiffon, toughened up with feathers and fur. Sheer mesh tops and dresses are scattered with crystals, whilst fine silver lace knits are reminiscent of suits of armour. Studs and spikes are replaced with chains and chainmail, whilst fur, feather and fluffy marabou trims decorate tops and dresses. Dresses are long and frothy, or cut short at the front with a dramatic train at the back. The Snow Queen girl makes a dramatic statement in a look straight out of the pages of a fairytale.

Evoking the new minimalism that is taking hold of wardrobes, the New Puritan collection draws inspiration from a medieval, puritanical era. The spray-on body con, studs and spikes of previous trends are replaced, with a focus on a new clean, straight-cut silhouette and a mood of softened austerity. Razor sharp tailoring is key and includes tuxedo suits, waistcoats and lean cigarette pants. Capes are also important, and have an almost Vatican-inspired appeal. Alongside tailoring, evening shifts and tunics also feature in leather and velvet. The New Puritan girl makes a statement of simplicity.

The third collection in Topshop's Christmas offering, Demi Couture offers up mini dresses in candy colours, inspired by '60s party dressing. Baby doll dresses are worn with fur or marabou tippets, whilst shell tops are teamed with matching flared trousers and pussy bow blouses come in jewel colours. The silhouette is neat and tidy, often with a flick hem, but the fabrics are richly textured, and include boucles, tweeds, heavy guipure lace, appliqu? and Lesage embroidery techniques. Jewels and embellishments add further interest. Colours include butterscotch, peppermint and nectarine.

Abigail's Party features evening dressing taking inspiration from the 1970s, bringing freshness to the maxi dress trend. Floor-sweeping gowns come in bold graphic prints, slit to the thigh, with billowing cape sleeves and deep plunging necklines for maximum impact. Pleated chiffon adds whimsy to jumpsuits and dresses, whilst the new wide-leg palazzo trouser shape of the summer is given new life in luxe fabrics like crepe jersey or silk chiffon. Everyday pieces are worked through this trend for wearability, including camel separates, denim and corduroy. Fur adds texture and is coloured, tipped, patched and in unusual colour combinations. Waists are high and lengths are long, accessorised with flashes of gold and the highest of platform sandals.

Turtle Beach? Announces Ear Force? X11 Headset for XBOX 360? and PC Gaming

Elmsford, N.Y. (PRWEB) March 1, 2010

Turtle Beach, the leaders in XBOX 360 gaming headsets, today announced its new Ear Force X11 stereo gaming headset for the XBOX 360 and PC gaming. Featuring vastly improved sound quality and an enhanced ergonomic design, the X11 embodies an attention to detail that characterizes the entire line of Ear Force headsets from Turtle Beach, making it ideal for playing popular XBOX? titles such as Battlefield Bad Company? 2, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2?, Call of Duty? Modern Warfare? 2, HALO? 3, Left 4 Dead? 2, Assassin?s Creed II, and Guitar Hero?.

?The X1 has been the XBOX gaming community?s favorite stereo headset for more than 3 years.? says Peter Ronick, Director of Marketing. ?There is no other stereo gaming headset more widely used by XBOX 360 gamers than the X1?arguably the best-selling stereo XBOX gaming headset of all time. Now, the torch has been passed to the X11, a successor that might prove to be even more popular with an improved look, enhanced sound quality and comfort features at the same affordable price.?

Visually compatible with the Ear Force X31 and X41 wireless headsets, the X11 sports a black and white design motif with circum-aural ear cups, a deep-cushioned headband and long, adjustable boom mic. For added comfort, the ear cups have been made larger with deep fabric-mesh cushions that sit comfortably around the ears, allowing for enhanced game play for longer periods of time. An extra-long 16-foot cable makes it easy to move around the room while playing XBOX games. Features include:

Independent volume controls for game and voice signals to balance XBOX LIVE? chat and stereo game sound.
Large, acoustically-tuned ear cups with 40mm drivers produce superior audio with deep bass for all types of games, digital music, and entertainment.
Integrated bass-boost makes explosions, gun shots and other deep-bass effects more dramatic by increasing the impact of low frequency sound cues.
DC-coupled amplifiers provide super-wide bandwidth down to 0Hz while eliminating the distortion caused by speaker-coupling capacitors.
A microphone with a rugged, oversized, flexible boom accurately reproduces the gamer?s voice during chat sessions.
A microphone monitor keeps gamers from raising their voices louder than necessary and avoids the ?under water? feeling that results when you can?t hear yourself speak.

While designed for the XBOX, the Ear Force X11 can also be used as a PC headset by virtue of its independent 3.5mm microphone and line audio plugs.

The Ear Force X11 headset has an MSRP of $ 59.95 and will be available at major US retailers including Best Buy, GameStop, Wal-Mart, Amazon, Newegg and at major Canadian retailers including Best Buy Canada and Future Shop, as well as from the Turtle Beach web site http://www.turtlebeach.com. Turtle Beach Ear Force headsets are distributed in Europe by Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (AMEX/TSX: MCZ http://www.madcatz.com.)

Turtle Beach (http://www.turtlebeach.com) designs and markets high-quality audio peripherals for PC and video game platforms, including its growing line of Ear Force gaming headphones and headsets for XBOX and PS3? game consoles and for personal computer games.

Burton Announces Partnership with Lambretta

London, UK (PRWEB) May 12, 2010

Burton has announced the arrival of three new designs of Lambretta suits, available in store and online from the beginning of May 2010.

With their clean lines and narrow lapels that are reminiscent of the 60s, the new suits from Lambretta encourage Burton customers to unleash their inner mod. As well as these suits, Burton's main line fashion has a heavy mod influence with sharp grey suiting, check shirts, thin blade ties and a cropped pea coat that create a clean and masculine look.

James Ronald, buyer at Burton, commented: "Getting Lambretta product into Burton is really exciting for us. The current range went out only a few weeks ago, and the reception was fantastic."

"Like Burton, Lambretta has a lot of history, with a focus on heritage but with a fashion attitude. The formal Burton customer looks for fashionability and quality when buying a suit and shirt. Lambretta's sharp slim cuts and emphasis on high trend fabrics work perfectly for our customers. We see this as the start of a long relationship, with Autumn/Winter styles from Lambretta touching down in September," he concluded.

Lambretta is an iconic brand with a heritage that dates back to the 60's and the original Modmobile: the Lambretta scooter.

The first 50 customers buying one of these slick new suits will get a free Lambretta shirt to complete their look, worth ?35, exclusively available with Lambretta suit purchases online at burton.co.uk.

The Vein Center of Orange County (VCOC) in Irvine, California Proudly Announces the Winner of Their First Office Raffle

(PRWEB) January 05, 2012

On December 1, 2011, Jnell S. of Costa Mesa was randomly chosen from all entrants as the winner of a South Coast Plaza shopping spree. Following their treatment entrants were asked to share their experience at the center by completing a survey. However, the raffle was so popular that it will be repeated next spring. Patients can remain informed about our upcoming promotions and offers by following us on Twitter and Facebook.

Dr. Alan Kanter is the founder and medical director at VCOC, Orange County?s premiere center specializing exclusively in the diagnosis and treatment of venous disorders since 1990. Having contributed to the development of ultrasound-guided vein ablation through his own published scientific studies and medical conference seminars, Dr. Kanter has earned the unparalleled reputation from his peers as Orange County?s ?go to? expert in venous disease.

VCOC excels by focusing on only one service: the diagnosis and non-surgical out-patient treatment of vein disorders. This includes eliminating large varicose veins by a 30-minute office procedure called endovenous thermal ablation, erasing thick spider veins through conventional sclerotherapy (injections), and making unsightly small spider veins disappear with the latest procedure called ?Vein Gogh.? Other vein disorders evaluated at VCOC include venous thrombosis (blood clots), thrombophilia (clotting disorders), leg ulcers, and the elimination of unwanted veins on the face, chest, and hands.

While most doctors first send their patients to an imaging center for ultrasound testing and mapping to formulate a treatment plan, Dr. Kanter performs his own ultrasound examinations and treatments all under one roof. His qualifications include RVT certification by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography and board certification by the American Board of Phlebology ? a rare combination, indeed.

More information on the next raffle and above services may be found on the VCOC web site http://www.vcoc.com, which was recently updated with user friendly features that make navigation easier. The website also features several videos that showcase various treatment methods, patient testimonials and an interview with Dr. Kanter. You may also contact us by calling 949-551-8855.
