<< Back to Awards Overview

The Publications In Construction and Agriculture (PICA) is pleased to announce the winners of the bureau’s “Measures of Success” marketing awards program – covering calendar year 2003 and first quarter 2004 – honoring outstanding marketing communications efforts in the construction equipment manufacturing field. Winners were recognized at the AEM Marketing Council seminar in August 2004 in Portland, Maine. New to this year’s awards program: entries submitted by sales division (under and over $50 million) and a “best of show” award.

PICA initiated the awards program in 2000 to:

  • Recognize outstanding marketing communications efforts in the construction equipment manufacturing industry,
  • Spotlight best practices as an industry educational guide and
  • Promote the role of marketing communications to a wider audience.

As part of the awards program, PICA editors also nominate and select a Public Relations Person of the Year who exemplifies outstanding media relations skills.

Entries cover four major categories: magazine ads (fractional, single and series), product literature, direct mail (single piece and campaign) and press kits. Each year the entries submitted reflect the scope of the industry, with a mix of larger and smaller firms, and companies with broad product lines as well as those with more specialized products.

Entries are judged by a number of criteria, including overall effectiveness, how well stated objectives are achieved, clarity of the message as well as visual impact and production values. The awards program judges represent a mix of business, agency and academic marketing professionals as well as PICA bureau members.(The press kit category is judged by trade editors.) Each judge evaluates the entries independently, and the scores are tabulated by AEM’s statistical department.

PICA is AEM’s product-specific bureau for the construction trade media, and aims to promote high operating standards among the trade media and to foster continuing educational and informational exchanges between the media, manufacturers and others in the industry.

Information on the next PICA ‘Measures of Success marketing awards will be posted on the AEM website.
