Testimonials to Marketing Excellence

United Methodist Communities is the recipient of three 2018 MarCom Awards, an international creative competition recognizing outstanding marketing and communications professionals.

The inspirational video, The Abundant Life – The Body Builder, took Platinum. It portrays George Campbell, an 85+ year-old resident of United Methodist Communities at Bishop Taylor, who maintain a regular fitness routine.

Platinum winners are judged to be the most outstanding for their excellence in quality, creativity and resourcefulness. Platinum winners received scores of 90-100 from judges, representing about 17 percent of all winners. There may be no winners or multiple winners in a category.

A commercial for HomeWorks, United Methodist Communities’ homecare division, won Gold in the Video/Audio, Television/Promotion category. Approximately 24 percent of entries were deemed Gold winners, scoring 80-89.

The awards represent United Methodist Communities’ Marketing Department and one creative partner, Image Revolver of Philadelphia, PA.
