MarCom AWARD

Rex Heartburn Center’s physician-directed marketing materials – design and produced by Partin Design Group – recently received a Gold Award from the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals. The MarCom awards is an international competition for marketing and communication professionals involved in the concept, writing and design of marketing and communications programs and print, visual and audio materials. Entries come from corporate marketing and communication departments, ad agencies, PR firms, design shops and freelancers. The competition has grown to perhaps the largest of its kind in the world.
The marketing packet for Rex Healthcare physicians consists of a pocket folder featuring a medical illustration of acid reflux on the cover and graduated insert sheets including a patient questionnaire, treatment guidelines and an algorithm chart.
The piece was produced under the direction of Kerry Heckle of the Rex Healthcare Marketing and Public Relations Department and was printed by Walnut Circle Press.

WALNUT CIRCLE’S 2006
CHRISTMAS CARD
The 2006 Christmas card for Walnut Circle Press (Greensboro, NC) featured an acrylic painting of a nutcracker by Angela Partin, printed with their Metal FX technology. Metal FX works on the basis that cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks used in full-color printing are transparent. When these inks are printed on top of specially modified MFX silver ink, the silver shows through and creates the illusion of unlimited metallic colors. For more information on Metal FX or to see a sample of the Christmas card, contact me at angela@creative-wise.com.
