Client Wins Big at National Grocers Association Creative Choice Awards
Bend-based advertising, branding and digital marketing agency Every Idea Marketing announced that its client, Newport Avenue Market, won two awards for small retailers at the National Grocers Association Creative Choice Awards held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Newport Avenue Market received two first place awards in the categories of Connections through Print category for ‘Shindigs’ a custom 12-page holiday entertainment guide and for the best Store Event ‘Meet the Ranchers,’ a collaboration between Newport Avenue Market and Oregon County Beef. The Meet the Rancher event included a parking lot party with live music, BBQ, roping and a meet and greet with ranchers raising the beef.
Both campaigns combined branding, prints ads, broadcast, digital and website work to leverage the grocery store’s reputation as Central Oregon’s best grocer. This was part of an on-going strategy designed to elevate Newport Avenue Market’s brand and generate awareness to a more expansive audience.
“We’ve been partnering with Every Idea for over 18 years and they always deliver,” said Lauren Johnson, CEO at Newport Avenue Market. “We are honored to be recognized for the campaigns.”
The annual Creative Choice Awards contest honors the best marketing and merchandising programs in the independent supermarket industry that have boosted store traffic, increased item or department sales, positively impacted overall store sales or provided a unique benefit to the community. Marketing campaigns and merchandising events or promotions held between December 1, 2015, and December 1, 2016, were eligible for this year’s contest.

A panel of industry experts recognized Newport Avenue Market’s campaigns for creativity, clarity and effectiveness.
