Matrex Exhibits has been honored with a Sizzle Award for their Integrated Marketing Program for Astellas Pharma US at the AAD Tradeshow February 2007 in Washington DC.. The Exhibitor Magazine's annual Sizzle Award Competition honors excellence in tradeshow and corporate event marketing promotions.
The integrated marketing campaign "T-Cell Face Off" was designed and produced to promote the Amevive product brand. The multi-player educational game experience is an extension of the Astellas Natural Killers Ad campaign. Other components of the campaign included: airport terminal, taxi and street banner signage.
"On behalf of the entire dermatology marketing team and the conventions team, I have to express my sincerest thanks for everything that you and the Matrex team did to make AAD such a success. I left DC beyond thrilled with the results of the show. I have NEVER gotten the incredible feedback regarding a convention like I did this past weekend and I've never been more proud of the way Astellas was represented on a show floor. All of the sales representatives were greatly impressed with the amount of activity we were able to generate. This is my 4th AAD, and I honestly believed that we had more traffic in our booth than we had cumulatively for the previous 3 years!!!" - Jennifer Eulberg, Astellas Pharma US
