The competition has grown to perhaps the largest of its kind in the world, with over 6,000 entries from throughout the United States, Canada and several other countries in the 2012 competition. A look at the winners shows a range in size from individual communicators to media conglomerates and Fortune 500 companies.
The recently released Vemma 2.0 and Vemma Bod-e mobile apps were both recognized in the awards -- Vemma 2.0 with Platinum, and Vemma Bod-e with Gold. The Vemma 2.0 app allows Brand Partners to prospect, present and communicate in real-time and gives the Vemma brand immense exposure. The Vemma Bod-e 2.0 app features Heidi and Chris Powell, TV Celebrity Transformation Specialists and Vemma Bod-e Spokespeople. The app coaches participants on when and what to eat throughout the day, provides daily video tips and inspirational messages, and helps participants stay on track when they are away from home by suggesting healthy options at the nation's top 20 restaurant chains.
In addition to being recognized for the Vemma app and Bod-e app, the company was also recognized as an award winner for the following submissions: -- Platinum Award for "It All Starts With A Dream" Recruitment Video -- Platinum Award for Vemma News -- Platinum Award for Vemma Bod-e 12-Week Transformation Challenge Social Media Campaign -- Gold Award for "Driving Force" Video -- Gold Award for Vemma Packaging Refresh "Being recognized for our marketing and communications work in several categories is both tremendously humbling and extremely motivating," said Mark Patterson, Vemma VP of Marketing and Brand Development. "We are driven by our mission of people helping people, and these awards demonstrate our commitment to putting cutting-edge tools in the hands of Brand Partners worldwide."
