An ad from Elevation’s campaign for the National D-Day Memorial.
Elevation launched a promotional campaign for the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford. The campaign launched in late September and consisted of paid social media advertising on platforms such as Instagram and Facebook.
Ads featured taglines such as “A 50-acre cure for cabin fever,” “Drive to Bedford — be transported to Normandy” and “A place where you can move freely — and be moved by freedom.” As of late October, the campaign was credited with a 38 percent increase in website visits compared to the same time last year.
The King Agency won five awards in the Summit Creative Awards, which honors advertising for small- and medium-sized agencies nationwide. Awards received recognized work for First Team Honda, Touchstone Bank, Virginia Family Dentistry and Virginia VINE.
