Brownstein Group Wins Two PRSA Pepperpot Awards

--Agency Is Honored for Its Special Events Projects--

PHILADELPHIA, January 22, 2009 - On December 4, 2008, the Philadelphia Public Relations Society of America honored the region's top PR professionals at the Pepperpot Awards. Brownstein Group was the recipient of two Pepperpot awards in the Special Events category for its work with Campus Apartments, Inc. as well as the 2008 Philadelphia International Auto Show.

Brownstein Group masterminded a successful public relations campaign for Campus Apartments, helping to drive sales for the company's luxury apartment building in Columbus, Ohio. Campus Apartments restored a historic Columbus landmark and turned it into a luxury apartment complex. In doing so, the company became part of the much-anticipated revitalization efforts of Columbus and built a strong relationship with the community. This all led to an increase in brand awareness in a market where Campus Apartments had been previously unknown.

The Philadelphia International Auto Show challenged Brownstein Group to rejuvenate an age-old Philadelphia tradition. Not only did the agency rise to the challenge, but also managed to increase ticket sales to record numbers and secure media placements in outlets that had never before covered the Philadelphia show.

"These two Pepperpot Awards signify our hard work and dedication to our clients, agency and, of course, the Philadelphia public relations community," stated Erin Allsman, Public Relations Director at Brownstein Group.

This year's Pepperpot Awards ceremony was held at the Crystal Tea Room and marked the 40th anniversary of the Philadelphia Chapter with a ruby-themed event.
