Hull Creative Group Wins LACP “2002 VISION Award Annual Report Competition” for Design of Geac Corporation and MRO Software 2002 Annual Reports

Boston, MA August 4, 2003 – Hull Creative Group, a design and marketing communications firm, was honored with two prestigious “2002 Vision Award Annual Report Competition” Gold awards for producing 2002 annual reports for Geac Corporation, a global organization dedicated to providing leading organizations with performance management software and systems, and for MRO Software, a leading provider of business solutions for strategic asset management.

Sponsored by the League of American Communications Professionals (LACP), an organization that encourages excellence in the practice of communications for all organizations, the competition drew more than 600 annual reports representing organizations ranging from top ten Fortune 500 companies to community based nonprofits. Participating sectors included health care, financial services, technology, government agencies and charitable organizations.

Entries were judged by communications professionals affiliated with LACP, and evaluated according to a point system based on first impression, report cover, artwork, creativity, clarity, letter to shareholders, report narrative, report financials, readability, and information accessibility. As recipient of two Gold awards, Hull Creative Group was given the second-highest score for both annual reports in the competitive category of “Technology –Services/Software Companies with an Employee Base of 1,000-10,000, and Annual Revenue of $100-$500 Million.”

“We are thrilled to receive these awards,” said Carolyn Colonna, Art Director, Hull Creative Group. “These two annuals have different but equally effective missions. The Geac annual focuses on their client base — we set up high impact, vivid photos of their well-known clients to get across the idea that Geac is both established and current. The MRO annual highlights the technology that they offer. We used photography and varnish techniques that gave the piece a polished, sophisticated look that reflects their products.”
