As part of the HP Inkspiration Awards North America, HP and Dscoop will also honor the best in self-promotion with the Rod Key Marketing Excellence Award. Named in memory of industry leader Rod Key, this award is given to the company with the most creative marketing campaign that promotes their business. Awards will be presented for campaigns created on HP Indigo, PageWide Web Press, Latex or Scitex equipment.
“We’re continually inspired by our customers who create beautiful, impactful work with HP digital printing technology,” said Avi Basu, director, marketing and business development, Graphics Solutions Business, Americas, HP Inc. “The HP Inkspiration and Rod Key Marketing Excellence Awards give us a unique opportunity to recognize and celebrate our customers’ accomplishments, while encouraging the industry to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with digital printing.”
“I would encourage printers to participate in the HP Inkspiration Awards. It’s a strategic way to challenge their organizations, inspire their people to do great work, and separate themselves from the competition,” said Bruce L. Myers, Ph.D., assistant professor, School of Media Sciences, Rochester Institute of Technology. “Printers can be confident that if they do well in this competition, they are at the top of their game.”
