Merit Mile Takes Home Stevie Award for PR Campaign of the Year

Boca Raton, FL, June 24, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Merit Mile, an integrated communications agency serving some of the world’s most reputable brands, was recently recognized by The Stevie® Awards as a PR Campaign of the Year winner.

More specifically, Merit Mile was the silver award winner in the “Communications or PR Campaign of the Year: Marketing Consumer Products or Services” category for its “#BubbleIt Bracket Challenge” campaign for client, Protect Your Bubble by Assurant, Inc.

Protect Your Bubble by Assurant, Inc. provides protection plans for smartphones, tablets, wearable technology, appliances and electronics, rental cars, renters insurance and travel arrangements.

The campaign launched in sequence with the popular NCAA March Madness tournament in the spring of 2015. Similar to college basketball tournament brackets, Merit Mile pitted tongue-in-cheek yet realistic consumer blunders against one another, in voting brackets, to determine their rank and degree of severity. With several thousand participants voting, consumers ultimately determined that “water damage to your smartphone” was slightly more severe and bubble bursting than “tenants damaging your rental dwelling.”

“Our clients rely on us for creative campaigns that elevate their brand in front of targeted audiences, and the #BubbleIt Bracket Challenge had thousands of consumers and prospective customers participate while learning about Protect Your Bubble,” said John Sternal, Director of PR and Social Media at Merit Mile. “It is an honor to be recognized for our team’s hard work, and we look forward determining if our follow up campaign—How Irresponsible Are You?—will garner similar results.”
