Park Place Marketing Team Wins Two Merit Gold Medals

(CLEVELAND, OH, May 15, 2024) The Park Place Technologies Marketing Team has been awarded two 2024 Gold Medals by the Global Merit Marketing & Communications Awards.

Park Place won the Gold Medal for Best Internal Communications, besting Silver Medal winner Cisco, and the Gold Medal for Best New Product or Service Launch for its Immersion Cooling Campaign, beating Silver Medal winner AMP Agency.

Other 2024 Merit Award winners in the Marketing & Communications category included MasterCard, FourSquare, Polo, Ogilvy, and F5.

The Merit Awards evaluate global companies that market and communicate with innovative, multimedia strategies. The Merit Awards’ judges include respected journalists, executives, consultants, entrepreneurs, educators and the Merit Awards staff. Each submission is carefully read, reviewed and judged based on the content and/or materials provided.

Park Place Internal Communications efforts are led by Michael Miller, Director of Global Communications. Katy Wrobel, Manager, Global Branding & Design; Calista Athans, Content Marketing Specialist; Brianna Kean, Branding & Design Specialist; and Simon Bitton, Sr. Director, Marketing, EMEA and APAC, complete the Internal Communications team.

Internal Communications submitted for awards consideration included the WIRED intranet site, internal podcasts hosted by Miller and Athans, Global Town Hall productions, and internal messaging videos.

The Gold Award-winning Immersion Cooling campaign, which included public-facing videos, collateral, earned media coverage and blogs, was led by VP of Marketing Larry DeAngelis, in collaboration with Product Marketing Manager John Reagan, Miller, and Chief Technology Officer Chris Carreiro.

“Park Place Marketing does not typically step into the spotlight, but our internal communications and product campaigns achieved tremendous engagement and were worthy of awards consideration,” DeAngelis said. “This only happens because so many Park Place people from the Product, Sales, HR and Solution Delivery Teams — and beyond — always step up to contribute to videos, podcasts, and campaigns when we need them. Everything Marketing touches is a team effort, and we are grateful for this recognition.”
