HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA--(Marketwired - May 1, 2013) - Grupo Gallegos , a creatively-driven independent advertising and marketing agency, was recognized by HispanicAd's Hispanic Account Planning Excelencia Awards (HAPE) at the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies (AHAA) 2013 Annual Conference on April 30 th in Miami, Florida. The agency received three awards for its work with the California Milk Processor Board : Gold for Creative Development for Established Brands in the Hispanic Market, Silver for Best Integrated Communication Campaign for a Product or Service in the Hispanic Market, and Best of Show. Their Best of Show recognition is the first and only time this has been given out by the HAPE Awards.
The winning campaign inspires people to see life with the "glass half-full." Its multimedia platform was developed to appeal to back to school and is focused on reminding parents of the importance of a good night's sleep for their children. To do this, the campaign brings back a special parent-child bonding ritual: a glass of milk and a story before bed.
Grupo Gallegos's Chief Strategy and Engagement Officer, Andrew Delbridge, commented on the wins: "We are excited about the success and recognition of the work from our long-standing relationship with the California Milk Processor Board. Award-winning work is the result of great collaboration and trust. What we have produced with this client is a testament to those values."
Since the beginning of their partnership in 2005, Grupo Gallegos and the California Milk Processor Board have won a total of eight HAPE awards together, including four gold wins.
