Brogan & Partners Smoking Quitline Campaign Wins Three Awards

CARY, NC – Brogan & Partners Convergence Marketing has been honored with three awards for digital healthcare advertising for a campaign done for Quitline NC, a smoking cessation support program funded by the North Carolina Health & Wellness Trust Fund and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.

The website, located at www.QuitlineNC.com, was named the Best Government Integrated Ad Campaign, in the Web Marketing Association’s 2006 Internet Advertising Competition (IAC) Awards. The mini-site aimed at teens was also awarded a Silver award in the World Wide Web Health Awards, while the mini-site aimed at fax referrals from physicians and other health care providers received a Bronze award.

The World Wide Web Health Awards is a program that recognizes the best health-related Web sites for consumers and professionals. This awards program, the most comprehensive of its kind, recognizes the best consumer health information materials and programs from organizations throughout the nation.

“We know how difficult it is to quit cold turkey alone,” said Jim Tobin, partner and manager of the North Carolina office. “These awards mean a lot to us, because it means that we’re helping to spread the word that Quitline NC is there to provide help along the way to whomever is ready to quit smoking now.”
