The Pitch: Advertising and marketing news for Aug. 25, 2015

ND&P1 (1)Neathawk Dubuque & Packett gave retiring senior copywriter Mac Calhoun a send-off with a citywide ad campaign. Ads featuring Calhoun’s photo and headlines such as “Insert headline here; obviously, words fail us” and “Mac has left the building” appeared in a full-page ad in the Times-Dispatch and on five digital outdoor billboards. Calhoun is retiring after 37 years in the business.

ND&P won three new accounts: a contract with the Virginia Department of Health to customize national “HIV Treatment Works” materials throughout the state, including posters and digital ads; public relations on behalf of the Boys Home of Virginia to promote the Covington-based nonprofit’s inaugural “Teach a Man to Fish” event, which benefits residents and other ongoing Boys Home programs; and a brand campaign for Baton Rouge General Medical Center in Louisiana that includes broadcast, digital, print and outdoor advertising slated to break this fall.

A print ad by ND&P for Universal Fibers is appearing this month and in September, October and November issues of Contract magazine, as well as in the UK in FX magazine. A digital campaign on DesignCurial.com also launches this month and runs through January 2016.

Addison Clark has launched an interactive virtual tour for its client Hollywood Cemetery. Users can take self-guided tours, search for burial locations, read biographies of notable residents and view photos and videos of the cemetery, all within the mobile-friendly platform.

Lythos Studios has been retained by the Gilmore for America campaign for branding, web development and national social media marketing. The campaign began with Jim Gilmore’s announcement on July 30 that he is running for president of the United States.

FAM partnered in the effort with 28Media and RTS Labs, both of Richmond.

GRTC Transit System and Richmond-based Light Tape are partnering on a pilot program to test illuminated display ads on city buses.

One display was installed in late June, and a second display was added this month.

Madison+Main has hired Abby Spence as a marketing administrator and Tara Snodgrass as a business development manager. Spence is a recent VCU graduate and brings administrative skills from her work experience at Porter Realty and VCU Health System.
